Teacher of the Academy took part in an international scientific and theological conference

On November 2, the Kazan Orthodox Theological Seminary hosted the XX International Scientific and Theological Conference "Theology and Secular Science: Traditions and New Relationships" dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Archpriest Alexander Vladimirsky (1821-1906), Rector of the Kazan Theological Academy; the 100th anniversary since the death of P.A. Yungerov (1856-1921), Professor of the Kazan Theological Academy and a biblical scholar, and the 100th anniversary of the death of Archpriest Nikolai Pisarev (1876-1921), Professor of the Kazan Theological Academy.

A.A. Parpara, a lecturer of the Theology Department at the Moscow Theological Academy, gave a report on "Social Effects of Artificial Intelligence in terms of pastoral care and psychological assistance" at the section "Topical Issues of Orthodox Psychology". The speaker focused on consequences of the technological revolution associated with the massive usage of an artificial intelligence, which caused the restructuring of a labor market and working hours reduction. Both factors became a reason for a significant number of people to suffer from psychological problems. The solution could be found in reorientation of an educational system from focusing on special professional competencies to education developing virtues of a free person.

The conference was broadcast on the official channel «Orthodoxy in Tatarstan».
