HIS HOLINESS ARAM I GREETS THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY
AT ST. HAGOP CHURCH IN KOKINIA
On Saturday 13 January 2010 in the afternoon, His Holiness Aram I met with
the Armenian community at St. Hagop Church in Kokinia suburb of Athens.
After welcoming the Catholicos, Bishop Khoren Doghramadjian, the Primate of
Greece, invited His Holiness to address the people.
His Holiness expressed his joy at being with the people. He said, "The
church cannot exist without people. Being church," he continued, "means
becoming the church of the people. The church is the place where believers
encounter God through prayer and discover Christian values. It is,
therefore, important for young and old to go to church and impart the values
that guide Christian life." He then concluded, "Therefore, being a spiritual
leader means listening to the people and being energized by them."
Following a brief evening service, His Holiness met with the people and
greeted everyone personally.
