The head of the AAC Diocese in Great Britain and Ireland will run a half marathon in support of persecuted Christians.

The head of the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Great Britain and Ireland, Bishop Hubakim Manukian, will take part in a charity half marathon to show solidarity with Christians facing religious persecution.

The race will take place on November 14 at Battersea Park in London. The bishop plans to walk 21 kilometers and raise £5,000, which will be donated to the charity Aid to the Church in Need. The action takes place as part of the RedWednesday international campaign, which is designed to draw the attention of the world community to the problem of the persecution of Christians.

According to the cleric, he initially started running to maintain physical fitness, but over time, running became a special form of prayer and spiritual concentration for him.

This is not the first such experience for Bishop Habakim: in 2024 he already participated in charity races in Windsor and Kingston, and in September he ran to raise funds to help children from your country.
