Lectures and essays on Christian education, published in New York in 1974 by the Department of Religious Education of the Orthodox Church in America (112 pages). The library record gives its subtitle as lectures and essays on Christian development through liturgical experience. Schmemann's subject is how the Church's worship, the liturgical year and the sacraments form believers, children included, and what that means for religious education in the parish. Russian translations appeared in Moscow in 2002 (Liturgiia zhizni) and 2025 (Liturgiia i zhizn').
