In Tambov opened Pitirimov readings

In the Tambov region, one of the main church and public forums of the region – Pitirimov spiritual and educational readings – has started. On November 12, a plenary session was held at the regional drama theater, which opened the business program of the event.

Before the beginning of the main part in the Transfiguration Cathedral of Tambov, a prayer was performed to St. Pitirim, Bishop of Tambov. Metropolitan Feodosii of Tambov and Rasskazovsky greeted the audience.

Readings will continue until November 15. The participants focused on a wide range of issues: from the development of relations between the church, society and the state to the preservation of traditional spiritual and moral guidelines in the context of rapid technological progress.

The main theme of this year was “Christian teaching about man and the challenges of modern technologies”. According to the head of the Tambov region Evgeny Pervyshov, this issue is relevant today both for the state and for every family: “The future of Russia directly depends on whether we can preserve our traditional values.”.

The plenary session ended with an award ceremony for the winners of the regional stages of the thematic competitions.
