Following the Beirut blast, MECC supports young people spiritually and psychologically

As part of the follow-up to the practical recommendations expressed by the youth during the online meetings held by the Council of Middle East Churches on the 25th & 26th August 2020 and in the belief of their active role in the disaster relief of Beirut, the department of Theological Affairs and Ecumenical Relations, in partnership and cooperation with the Great Youth and the Theological Seminary Department of the Roman Catholic-Rabbwa Patriarchate, organize the program of "healing from psychological trauma and spiritual advice" on the 12th  and 19th of September 2020.

This program aims to spiritually and psychologically support a group of young people who have lived through the tragedy of the 4th of August blast. Some of them participated in the disaster relief operation through organizations, church movements and civil associations and movements; they were in direct contact with the victims and the injured, including those who were traumatized by the disaster and who went through deep pain and sadness.
The meeting is a part of the Middle East Council's initiatives with the youth, following a lengthy meeting in Al-Rabwa theological seminary to discuss and set priorities to help these young men and women.
