    Your Grace ,

    I just learned, with deep sorrow, the passing away of Archbishop Ted Scott.
    Indeed, he was a gifted minister and a strong church-leader. He served his
    church with firm commitment and profound love. Archbishop Scott also served
    the ecumenical movement in general and the World Council of Churches in
    particular with a clear vision of the unity of the church. As Moderator of
    the Central Committee of the WCC from 1975 to 1983, through his reports and
    reflections, Archbishop Scott emphasized the centrality of the local church
    and the critical importance of the pastoral di - mension in our ecumenical
    engagement. The ecumenical movement owes a great deal to the ecumenical
    contribution of Archbishop Scott.

    May God accept his soul in His eternal kingdom.

    Prayerfully

    ARAM I
    CATHOLICOS OF CILICIA
    &
    MODERATOR OF THE WCC
