Abstract

Being a member of a minority – of any kind – brings obvious and expected impediments to functioning in different areas of life. These difficulties also concern functioning in the area of education and religious life. They are the result of objective factors, such as e.g. legal regulations, the system of teaching religion or religious traditions, as well as subjective factors, e.g. parents' lack of readiness or experiencing problems with explaining their child's “otherness” against the background of their peers brought up in majority religion. Such difficulties and problems are also experienced by members of the Orthodox Diaspora in Wrocław. These difficulties are known and felt especially by parents, but also by children after reaching certain age and certain awareness. The article presents practical problems with religious socialization and teaching religion seen through the eyes of an Orthodox parent. However, it also indicates some opportunities resulting from emerging difficulties.
