Has there been any word when an Eastern Catholic catechism will be available? I thought I read somewhere on the forum some time back that one was in the works with the UGCC.

There already is one for Eastern Catholics in the U.S. and Canada. The UGCC was supposedly developing one specifically for the Patriarchate as a whole.

Are you refering to "Light for Life"? I guess what I am looking for is more of a primer for those who are curious and or being pulled to the East.

I think Light for Life is an excellent introduction to the Orthodox faith. Western-style catechetical manuals used to be the rage in some Orthodox circles, but they were essentially pale imitations of Latin books that do not really give an adequate understanding of Eastern Christianity. If the three Light for Life volumes are slim, that's because Eastern Christianity really can't be known or understood from a purely or even principally intellectual perspective. Our catechesis has always really been our liturgy, and our approach summarized by the words of the Master, "Come and see".

Converted Viking [ churchinneed.org]is saying 2010 is the publication date. I've not seen any other updates on it, nor of any others currently in the works by other Eastern or Oriental churches.
