THE CATHOLCIOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE MEETING OF ORTHODOX
AND ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES
A meeting was held between the representatives from the Orthodox Churches
and the Oriental Orthodox Churches in the Greek city of Volos on September
19-22.
The purpose of the meeting was to set the direction of discussions between
these two churches and the United Bible Societies.
Bishop Nareg Alemezian, Ecumenical Officer of the Catholicosate of Cilicia,
participated in the meeting on behalf of the Catholicosate. Hratch
Sarkissian, director of the Bible Society of Armenia, represented the
Catholicosate of All Armenians.
The participants discussed the results of the 1999 and 2004 meetings of
Orthodox Churches and Bible Societies in Larnaca and Antelias respectively.
They laid out the plans for future cooperation.
Bishop Nareg highlighted the warm cooperation between the Catholicosate of
Cilicia and the Bible Society of Lebanon, especially in the fields of
translation and preparation of textbooks.
The participants decided to hold the next meeting between the Orthodox
Churches and United Bible Societies on October 15-22.
His Holiness Aram I has played an important role in the strengthening of
cooperation between United Bible Societies and the Orthodox Churches. Four
years ago the General Secretary of the United Bible Societies visited His
Holiness Aram I to consult on issues related to cooperation between the
society and the Orthodox Churches. Two meetings between the two sides, one
in Larnaca the other in Antelias, followed.
On his way back to Antelias, Bishop Nareg visited the Coptic Orthodox church
being built in Athens. He conveyed His Holiness' greetings to the believers
and delivered a lecture entitled "The Birth of the Armenian Church and the
Catholicosate of Cilicia Today."
