东正教传入俄罗斯已有千余年的历史。近年来,关于东正教文化进入俄罗斯世俗教育的要求引发了俄罗斯社会的争论,进而引起了人们对世俗教育与宗教教育的思考。俄罗斯领导人指出,俄罗斯的学校与教会是分离的,但作为人文教育,学校应以选修课或必修课的形式开设《宗教史》课程,这将有利于发展本国儿童对待民族和宗教的宽容态度。 Orthodoxy has been introduced to Russia for more than a thousand years. In recent years, the demand for the Orthodox culture to enter into Russian secular education has triggered controversy in Russian society, which in turn has caused people to think both secular education and religious education. Russian leaders pointed out that schools and churches in Russia are separate from each other. However, as a humanistic education, schools should offer “religious history” courses in the form of electives or compulsory courses, which will be conducive to the development of children’s tolerance of ethnic and religious beliefs .
