REVITALIZING THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF THE ARMENIAN CHURCH
WAS THE THEME OF THE CONSULTATION IN KESSAB (SYRIA)
Upon the initiative of His Holiness Aram I, the Department on Sunday Schools
of the Catholicosate organized a consultation on the theme "Revitalizing the
Sunday School". It took place from 8-10 September 2009, at the
Injejikian-Gulbenkian Centre in Kessab (Syria).
More than 25 Sunday School Directors, educators and curriculum experts from
Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Iran, Kuwait and other Gulf countries took part.
They discussed the relationship between home, church and the Sunday School
in the growth of faith; new religious movements and their impact on the life
of the church and society; church and spirituality. The consultation
recommended that the Sunday school by-laws of dioceses be revised in view of
the new challenges and identify new pedagogical methods to respond to the
spiritual needs of the youth.
