    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE REPRESENTATIVES OF A NEW GROUP ADVOCATING
    THE 'RIGHT TO LIFE FOR ALL'

    Yesterday, His Holiness received the representatives of a new Lebanese group
    advocating for a national day to affirm life. They are soliciting the
    support of religious leaders before presenting their initiative to the
    government.

    Catholicos Aram I welcomed the initiative and described it as a theological
    and an ethical imperative. For Christians, he said, life is a God-given gift
    that has to be protected and respected; it concerns human beings, of course,
    but also the whole of the environment and the principles of justice, peace
    and freedom. Therefore, he concluded, "It is not enough to affirm life once
    a year, but to organize activities during the year to build awareness among
    the population."
