Antelias-Lebanon
AN IRANIAN DELEGATION IN ANTELIAS
ANTELIAS, LEBANON - A high ranking Iranian delegation met His Holiness Aram
I in Antelias at the Church Headquarters. A number of matters pertaining to
the Armenian Community in Iran, and the Christian Muslim dialogue occupied
an important place on the agenda. The meeting was also attended by
Archbishop Sebouh Sarkissian the Primate of the Diocese of Tehran and Mr.
Kevork Vartanian, the Armenian Deputy in the parliament of Iran.
During the meeting, His Holiness Aram I emphasized the importance of
interfaith dialogue and particularly Christian-Muslim dialogue. He said: "We
are living in world where the dialogue is no more a question of choice.
Globalization, pluralistic societies and common threats and challenges of
new times call all religions, cultures and nations to engage themselves
seriously and actively in dialogue. Dialogue doesn't mean to accept the view
of the other. It means to listen each other and respect each other the way
we are. Hence I consider the dialogue of religions and cultures of crucial
importance for the future of humanity".
