  • They Will Back The Primate Anyway

    THEY WILL BACK THE PRIMATE ANYWAY

    A1+
    [01:09 pm] 01 December, 2008

    An initiative group has launched collection of signatures in support
    of Michael Ajapahyan, primate of the Diocese of Shirak marz.

    The group vows to do everything to prevent the unpopular developments
    and impertinent interference with the spiritual life of the diocese
    and expose the plot to replace the primate.

    "Michael Ajapahyan has been improving the spiritual life of communities
    for nine years, immediately after assuming the post. There is no
    community in our region which has not got his blessing. Liturgies
    have been recited even in rundown churches and chapels. The social
    and educational centre, the youth council of the Diocese of Shirak of
    the Armenian Apostolic Church, St. Hakob Mtsbnetsi and other unions
    of Christian youth have been set up thanks to Ajapahyan. He has also
    organised pilgrimages to churches and sanctuaries. His sermons and
    precepts form an indivisible part of our spiritual life."

    The message voices indignation with the plot of the administrative and
    criminal force against this healthy spiritual strand in an effort to
    engage the archbishop in political matters and to manipulate his civil
    stance. The members of the initiative state this is a precedent when
    the political government constrains the activities of the spiritual
    leader, causing a surge of protest in the region.

    "We, the children of the Armenian Church, voice our indignation
    over this intolerable phenomenon and express our determination and
    resoluteness to back the primate enjoying public love and respect to
    the end," holds the message.
