    THE CILICIAN BROTHERHOOD'S GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO CONVENE
    IN ANTELIAS

    The General Assembly of the Catholicosate of Cilicia's Brotherhood will be
    held on June 5-6 in Antelias. The meeting will be convened and chaired by
    Catholicos Aram I.

    Cilician Brotherhood members from all the Catholicosate's Dioceses have
    arrived in Lebanon to participate in the long-awaited blessing of the Chrism
    ceremony this Saturday and to participate in the meeting. Under the general
    heading "The Armenian clergy facing the challenges of the 21st century",
    Brotherhood members will discuss the mission of the Armenian Church and the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia in particular, reassessing it in light of present
    day challenges. Various units and departments of the Catholicosate will
    present reports about their activities. The spiritual, educational, cultural
    and social activities of the Brotherhood will be presented. The Brotherhood
    mission with its two pillars- developing the church and serving the nation-
    will be evaluated.

    The Pontiff will address the Brotherhood members on this occasion. He will
    set the guidelines for the functioning of the Cilician Brotherhood, based on
    the Catholicosate's future plans. Each Brotherhood member will have the
    opportunity to hold a private meeting with the Catholicos to express
    individual concerns and receive the Pontiff's blessings for planned future
    initiatives.

    The Cilician Brotherhood's General Assembly will publish a statement of its
    activities upon its conclusion.
