According to the advertisement about his life, Aaron Sherinian lives in Arlington, manages public relations for the United Nations Foundation, speaks Italian, French, Armenian, Spanish and “English when things are working,” teaches high school students every morning in a Scripture study class and is a husband and father of three. He’s also — as the ad says — a Mormon. Sherinian is the subject of a video for the “I’m a Mormon” ad campaign run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before settling in the Washington area, he spent a decade as a Foreign Service Officer and diplomat for the U.S. State Department. Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
I can enthusiastically tell people I am a Mormon — exclamation point! I most appreciate about my faith the fact that it is a faith of action that encourages people to take their faith in relation to Jesus Christ and put it into practice every day, not just on Sunday, and not just when they’re on their knees praying, but in how they approach their communities and workplace and how they can make relationships better.
