ARCHBISHOP TALKS WITH AGBU INTERNS
Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian
Church of America (Eastern), welcomed about 35 participants in the
Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU)'s summer internship program to
the Diocesan Center in New York City on Wednesday, July 13, 2005.
He hosted a dinner for the interns, and took the opportunity to talk
with them and answer their questions about a variety of issues, from the
Armenian Christian faith to modern issues. The Primate also asked each
intern to share any advice or ideas they have about making the Armenian
Church significant in the lives of all Armenians.
"It is always a pleasure to see such bright, young Armenians. They are
taking an active role not just in their Armenian communities, but in the
world at large," the Primate said.
The interns come from all around the globe to work in government
offices, non-profit organizations, banking and financial companies, and
media news rooms. This is the 18th year the AGBU has organized the
8-week program.
While holding down internships, the participants also get involved in
the community by visiting the Diocese and Armenian schools and
retirement homes.
