Church was held on Friday May 26, 2006 at the Diocesan Office of the
Armenian Church in Canada, and was presided by, His Eminence Bishop
Bagrat Galstanian, Primate.
The daylong meeting's agenda items were mainly issues relating to the
mission of the Church and discussion of the activities of the past
year. The Primate offered the invocation. Bishop Galstanian
interpreted the message from the Gospel of St. John (Chapter 17.)
Pointing its relevance to our contemporary issues of today, he said,
`The formation of a community is the reflection of the Holy
Trinity. The Church is involved in that mission, by not only trying to
change the shape of the world, but also to change its essence. He
said, `The Church is for the world.' Today, particularly on these
shores, it is our sacred duty to lead our children to a spiritual life
and to the orthodox faith.'
The Pontifical message of His Holiness Karekin II Supreme Patriarch
and Catholicos of All Armenians addressed to the Clergy conference was
read by Deacon Hagop Arslanian.
