I am minded of a visit I made with a group of Armenians to a derelict Armenian church in Malatya. After looking around, the most religious of those present started to hold a little religious ceremony involving singing, cajoling the rest to join in - which they all did except for one man who after resisting politely in the end said he was not going to mouth words that he did not believe in. They still went on and on at him to join in but he courageously resisted that near overwhelming peer-pressure. The whole thing was embarrasing to witness, and I felt very sorry for him and angry at the rest for not seeing what they were doing.
