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."
