The Roman catholic church has the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". Does the Orthodox have an equivalent text?

I think this is what you would be looking for: http://www.pravoslavieto.com/docs/eng/Orthodox_Catechism_of_Philaret.htmBut there is no formal catechesis. |

Welcome to the forum! There is no formal, standardize catechism like the CCC. However, many Church Fathers have written catechisms, both ancient and modern. St. Philaret's Catechism linked above is a great modern resource. As far as more ancient sources, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, a 4th century saint, has his Catechetical Lectures, which can be found both at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library and New Advent. I believe that the RCC recognizes St. Cyril as a Doctor of the Church. |

In terms of comprehensiveness, nothing really beats Fr. Serafim Slobodskoy's The Law of God.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth
