The Didache, a brief text dating to the first century of the Church, was one of the very first written catechisms. In this lecture, Rev. Christiaan Kappes will shed light on the origins and original audience of this important document in the Early Church, and introduce us to its contents, which range from Christian ethics, the celebration of the Holy Mysteries, and the structure of the Church hierarchy.
