TRYING TO ABOLISH THE DISASTER
Support A1+!”A senseless gap arose between the youth and the priesthood”, Deacon Gevorg Ghushchyan voiced discontent during the press conference in the Armenian Apostolic Church.
He is surprised that the young people feel shame when talking to a clergyman and can’t phrase their thoughts. ”It’s the stereotype since the past”, he explains adding that one of the reasons for this is behavior of the clergy and the black soutane.
To do away with the existing abyss the Araratian Diocese has set an e-mail address, [email protected]. The youth can send questions they are interested in and get the answers through that.
According to Eliza Manukyan, Diocese Information Service executive, during a month the young people addressed about 100 questions to the clergymen. They are mainly on the personal problems.
The Armenian young people were also interested in the attitude of the priesthood towards extramarital relationships, the mutual relations of a wife and a husband in an Armenian family, etc.
