    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I LECTURES

    AT AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

    His Holiness Aram I delivered, on December 5, the keynote address at an
    international conference organized jointly by the Notre Dame and Indiana
    State Universities in the United States. The conference entitled "Faith and
    Health", brought together renowned medical doctors, academics, psychologists
    and sociologists.

    The president of the university commended the Armenian Pontiff by
    highlighting his role in the Christian church and particularly his
    outstanding contribution to the ecumenical movement. He presented His
    Holiness Aram I as an international figure with an important place in
    academic circles through his several theological publications on theological
    issues.

    During his speech "An Ecclesiological and Missiological Approach to Healing"
    , the Catholicos approached the theme of the conference from a theological
    viewpoint, analyzing many important and contemporary questions in the field.
    The lecture was followed by a question and answer period. The attendants
    expressed great satisfaction at the spiritual leader's arguments and
    explanations.

    The Prelates of Eastern and Western prelacies, Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan
    and Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian also attended the conference in
    addition to the chairman of the Executive Council of the Eastern Prelacy and
    faithful Armenians from nearby cities.

    The president of Notre Dame University had visited His Holiness Aram I for a
    private meeting before the conference. Notre Dame is one of the most
    important universities in the United States with 20,000 students.

    The administration of Indiana State University also had a meeting with the
    Catholicos.
