Staff Reporter

PATHANAMTHITTA: Christian churches in India have got a key role to
play in protecting the integrity and culture of the country which
holds people belonging to all religious faiths in its fold, said
Catholicos Aram I of the Holy See of Cilicia of the Armenian Orthodox
Church.

The Armenian Catholicos was addressing a meeting held in his honour at
the St. George’s Orthodox church at Chandanappally near here on
Friday. He said the Church could grow in India due to the sustenance
of the country’s rich cultural heritage. The Church should strive for
the overall development of the country, upholding national pride. A
Christian way of dedication and commitment was needed to serve the
country, he added.
