Capacity Building
Armenian Church and Armed Forces of Republic of Armenia
The Spiritual service of Armed Forces was established in November of 1997 with an aim to offer spiritual services at the Army. Different clergy of AAC, deacons, priests, archimandrites, are involved in this work but due to the restricted number of clergy, they don’t cope with the task with proper efficiency. So it was decided to train the Armed Forces Personnel Officer Assistants to facilitate the work of clergy. [learn more]
