It doesn’t depend on education (Elder Sophrony of Essex)

Faith, the ability to believe, doesn’t depend in the first place on the degree of our education. In fact, in our own times, when there’s widespread education, we see that faith is dwindling, whereas, in essence you’d expect the opposite to be true. In other words, the more we learn, the greater the opportunities are to recognize the deep wisdom of the Creator of the world.
