Kostroma Diocese against game machines

More victims of game machines turn to clergymen. People often have to sell their flats to pay their debts. A despaired person thrown a firebomb to the casino – his son played over everything that he had. Not long ago, the court of Galich convicted a man who killed several people for the money lost in the game club.

Archbishop Alexander of Kostroma and Galich decided to turn to the legislative authorities and demand to protect residents of Kostroma, especially children and teenagers, from dangerous passion for games. Clergymen of the Diocese of Kostroma and Galich will conduct a series of meetings at schools to discuss game problems. It is planned to publish and distribute special literature to help a person to give up his passion. A confidence line for the players and their relatives will work in the diocese.
