HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE DIOCESE OF LEBANON
His Holiness Aram I received Primate Bishop Kegham Khacherian and the
representatives of the Religious and Political councils of the Diocese
of Lebanon on Tuesday 14 March 2006. The two sides discussed issues
related to the ordainment of the newly built St. Vartanants Church in
May and His Holiness' Pontifical visit. They agreed that His Holiness
should have meetings with representatives of the community structures,
as well as teachers, students and the youth.
His Holiness stressed the importance of reviving the internal
liveliness of the Armenian community of Lebanon in various
fields. He particularly spoke about the great importance of national
schools. Given that His Holiness has announced 2006 to be "The Year of
the Armenian School", both sides considered it was suitable to organize
special events that would bring the spotlight on the importance of
Armenian schools in the education of the new generations.
His Holiness also stressed the imperative of strengthening the internal
unity of the Lebanese-Armenian community. In this context he welcomed
the representation of the Armenian community at the ongoing dialogue
in the parliament with a united delegation from the three Armenian
parties.
His Holiness Aram I also received a delegation from the Armenian
National Authorities of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The two
sides discussed various issues related to the Diocese.
