PanARMENIAN.Net - Addressing a youth gathering in Isfahan, Iran,
His Holiness, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I called
for a more important role for the Armenian youth in church and
community life: "All sorts of approaches and all modes of thinking
that marginalize youth must be challenged" he said and urged the
community organizations to provide broader space for a more active
participation of youth.
His Holiness emphasized the pivotal role of youth in all aspects of
society life. In his view, "constant and serious efforts must be made
to ensure the contribution of youth to all initiatives and processes
aimed at community building," he said.
His Holiness also visited the community schools and met with the
student and teachers. He said that "the school, with its important
role in Christian education is, in a sense, the extension of church.
This is why our church considers the school an inseparable part of its
missionary outreach". His Holiness greatly appreciated the dedication
of the teachers to Armenian-Christian formation of the generations
to come.
A cultural program was prepared by the students in his honor.
Aram I also visited the old people's house and other social centers
which are run by the church and church-related organizations.
