    THE ARMENIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH ATTENDS THE WCC ECUMENICAL OFFICERS' MEETING

    The two Ecumenical Officers of the Armenian Orthodox Church, Bishop Hovaguim
    Manoukian of the Holy See of Etchmiadzin and Bishop Nareg Alemezian of the
    Holy See of Cilicia attended the meeting held 4-6 May 2010 at the Ecumenical
    Institute Bossey (Switzerland).

    The meeting of the Ecumenical Officers of member churches of the World
    Council of Churches provides the opportunity for the staff of member
    churches to meet, share their experiences and concerns, and discuss WCC
    programmatic priorities.

    Following greetings by the General Secretary of the WCC, the programme staff
    presented their plans for the coming year, and a thematic outline of the
    International Ecumenical Peace Convocation to be held in Kingston, Jamaica
    next year.

    Bishop Nareg reported on the ecumenical implications of the recent visits of
    His Holiness Aram I to India as the guest of the Malankara Indian Orthodox
    Church, the Pontifical visit to the Church of Greece, and the visit of the
    Ecumenical Officer to the Church of Cyprus. The Bishop also mentioned the
    forthcoming interreligious dialogue with Iran to be held in Antelias.
