Bine că părintele Alexandru Novopașin a participat la comisia aceea anti-drog. E un subiect serios, mai ales când vezi ce se întâmplă cu tinerii în orașe mari. Mă bucur că Biserica se implică direct, nu doar la slujbe.

Da, dobro je što je otac Aleksandar bio na toj komisiji. Droga je stvarno pošast, pogotovo među mladima, a Crkva mora da pomogne i van hrama. Kod nas u Banjoj Luci isto se priča o tome na parohijskim skupovima.

Father Alexander's involvement in that anti-drug commission in Novosibirsk makes sense. Drugs have wrecked too many young lives around here too, and it's good the Church is at the table with the officials instead of just praying about it. Our own parish in Chicago has had a couple of talks after liturgy on the same problem—practical stuff, not just words.

Slažem se, Tamara, droga zaista hvata mlade brzo, vidim to i kod nas u Podgorici na nekim porodicama iz parohije. Otac Aleksandar je dobro što ide na te komisije, Crkva mora da se uključi i van hrama. A kod vas u Banjoj Luci, da li ste već probali neke konkretne radionice za roditelje ili samo razgovori na skupovima?

Da, slažem se, Tamara, droga zaista najviše uništava decu u školama. Kod nas u Nišu smo prošle godine na parohijskom saboru zvali jednog socijalnog radnika da priča roditeljima o znakovima koje deca pokazuju. A kod vas u Banjoj Luci, da li su te priče na skupovima dovele do neke saradnje sa lokalnim centrima za prevenciju?
