reception will follow in the Charles and Nevart Talanian Cultural
Hall. Celebrate! Armenian Cultural Heritage is an annual series of

Kessler became the executive director of MCC in September 1988. She is
the eighth executive director to assume ecumenical leadership in the
council's 100-plus-year history. She formerly served as the associate
director for strategy and action, a post she held for 13 years.

a diplomatic liaison among religious leaders and denominations in
the effort to promote reconciliation among the churches.
The pastor and parish council of the Holy Trinity Armenian Church
invites the community to attend church services Sunday, Sept. 26,
to celebrate the divine liturgy, beginning at 10 a.m., which will
be followed at 11:30 a.m., by Kessler's homily on the concept of
