    "Dialogue and Cooperation among Religions

    Essential for the World Today"

    Affirms His Holiness Aram I

    Antelias, Lebanon - Hundreds of students, professors, and Swedish
    citizens attended a lecture delivered by His Holiness Aram I,
    Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, at the University of Uppsala,
    Sweden. Included in the large audience was Archbishop K. G. Hammar,
    the head of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, as well as a number of
    prominent bishops and theologians.

    His Holiness's lecture was on the inter-religious dialogue and its
    implications on Ecumenical Movement. The Catholicos described the
    meaning of religion in various contexts. He covered three basic points:
    1. Living Together. 2. Reflecting Together. 3. Working Together. He
    emphasized the importance of dialogue, as a way of life in the
    world today.

    At the conclusion of his lecture, His Holiness answered questions
    from the audience. The lecture was followed with a reception in
    the University's large reception hall where the President of the
    University praised His Holiness's visit and expressed thanks for his
    role in promotion of theological education, as well as for his efforts
    to expand inter-church and inter-religious dialogue. The President
    presented His Holiness with a distinguished gift from the University
    in the presence of more than 100 lecturers.
