Первая задача статьи состоит в анализе конкретного религиозного движения реформационного направления внутри Армянской Апостольской церкви, изученного на полевых материалах 2000-х и 2010-х гг. Вторая задача статьи – в том, чтобы опереться на данный конкретный пример для попытки выявления, с использованием материалов из других движений реформистского плана, некоего универсального паттерна внутри христианской традиции – обостренного напряжения между принципом «чистой веры» и этнонациональной культурой.

The article pursues two tasks: the first is to analyze history and practice of a reform-oriented religious movement active within the Armenian Apostolic Church at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries; the second task is to use this Armenian example, and to compare it with other cross-cultural material, in order to hypothesize the existence of a trans-local and trans-national Christian pattern of the structural tension between the “pure faith” and the ethnonational culture.
