    A LECTURE ON "ARMENIAN CHURCH AND THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT" AT THE ACUSA
    CENTER

    The Christian Education Department of the Catholicosate of Cilicia and the
    Armenian Church University Students' Association (ACUSA) have jointly
    organized a series of lectures. The third session of the series was held in
    the ACUSA center in Antelias on November 18.

    The lecturer, Dr. Nora Bayrakdarian-Kabakian, presented the role of the
    Armenian Church in general and the Catholicosate of Cilicia in particular in
    the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Ecumenical movement.

    Dr. Bayrakdarian talked about the origins of the Ecumenical movement,
    focusing mainly on the establishment of the WCC. "The main purpose of the
    Ecumenical movement is the unity of churches and the development of
    cooperation between them in issues related to accomplishing their missions
    and to conflicts plaguing the world," she said.

    The speaker emphasized that the Catholicosate of Cilicia has paid special
    attention to Ecumenical affairs since the 1950's, by an active contribution
    to this field, the proof of which is the position of its spiritual Head, His
    Holiness Aram I, as Moderator of the World Council of Churches during the
    last 16 years.

    Concluding, Dr. Bayrakdarian mentioned that WCC and the Ecumenical movement
    in general, confront new challenges today as a consequence of the changing
    world circumstances.
