National Leadership Institute is a Christian organization which implements various Christian educational projects under the auspices of the Armenian Apostolic church which is the national church of Armenia.
Armenia is the first nation which adopted Christianity in 301 AD as its state religion. The first cathedral of St. Echmiadzin was built between 301 and 303. In 401 Armenian alphabet was created in order to translate the Holy Bible into Armenian and the first sentence that was translated was the first verse from Proverbs. We have a great heritage and culture. Armenian Church was the main institute (school) where Armenian history, literature, music etc. were kept and taught to younger generations. It is Armenian Church that struggled and kept our unique identity in the world.
Now after the times of Soviet regime there is a revival in our church. We Armenians consider ourselves Christians and usually we associate being an Armenian and being a Christian, in other words we see both concepts identical. Our organization is committed to its vision to provide Christian education for young people and help to find the roots of its nation’s faith.
We have various programs and Alpha Course is one designed to meet the needs of those who are in search of the meaning of life. If you think that the life is the ocean where we drift in the boat and the death is the harbor all of us should moor to, then ask yourself what is the meaning of my life, yes my life. Then what is the meaning of getting an education, getting married, raising children and then passing away and becoming a breakfast for different kinds of warms and vermigrades. I personally don’t see any meaning. If we are here on earth to enjoy the life then why should all these have so sad ending. Christianity answers this question. But I will talk about it later. Now I need your opinions before moving forward.
Dear Arsen!!I could not even predict that you are so deeply involved in Armenian Christianity!!It is amaizing that you try to bring your participation in improving the nation’s moral image!!!
