Christianity: boring, false, unimportant?
Christianity: boring, false, unimportant?
Pavillon 4
The impression of Christianity within society is utterly unrepresentative of its essence. Today, Christianity is mythologized and, to some extent, discredited. There isn’t a space for real and pithy discussion of the hardest questions about Christianity or for the defence of its honour and its worth. For this reason, the living word of witness about the true nature of the Church is vital to Russian society today.

Round Table: “The fool said in his heart, ‘There is no God!’ (Ps. 52:2)”
● How to speak about Christianity in society’s secular information field? ● How to respond to the indifference and criticism of Postmodernity and modern Atheism, which are, at their root, destructive of trust vis-à-vis Christianity and the Church? ● How do we deliver the Word to those who believe that Christianity is boring, a religion for the weak or the uneducated, which can in no way answer the needs of people in the modern world?
