    CONVENES IN ANTELIAS

    An international conference convened in the Antelias headquarters of the

    migration and its impact on society. Some 120 delegates participated in this
    conference, which was chaired by His Holiness Aram I.

    A meeting of the Commission formed of representatives from the World Council
    of Churches (WCC) and the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) is being

    "Cilicia" museum. It will end on April 19.

    The 30-member commission has extensively discussed the proposals of the
    conference, seeking practical ways of implementation and drawing up a
    general plan for consideration by churches and non-governmental
    organizations.
