    THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF MECC
    VISITS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I


    His Holiness Aram I met with the General Secretary of the Middle East
    Council of Churches (MECC), Dr. Gerges Saleh, in Antelias on November 20.

    Dr. Saleh briefed the Catholicos on the activities of MECC during the last
    few months particularly in the fields of social service and Christian-Muslim
    dialogue. He consulted His Holiness on a number of issues and projects
    related to the Council.

    His Holiness Aram I praised the activities of the MECC. He emphasized,
    however, that the Council should not expand its work field and should focus
    instead on a number of principal issues directly related to the life of
    churches.

    His Holiness added that the reorganization of MECC has become an imperative
    priority in light of the contemporary challenges and circumstances. He
    pointed out that such an initiative requires setting up clear-cut
    priorities, reshuffling the administrative structure, decreasing the number
    of employees and limiting the budget.

    The Catholicos made several remarks in this context based on his own
    experience.
