    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I WELCOMES THE GROWING IMPACT OF ECUMENISM ON THE LIFE OF
    THE CHURCHES IN ASIA

    His Eminence Archbishop Sebouh Sarkissian of the Diocese of Tehran (Iran)
    participated in a joint meeting of the World Council of Churches and the
    Christian Conference of Asia, held 1-5 August 2011, in Bangkok. The purpose
    of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of joint ecumenical actions to
    ensure Asia's peace and security. The participants reported on the life and
    witness of their churches and the issues that the poor people and minorities
    are facing.

    In his presentation, Archbishop Sarkissian said that Christianity in Iran
    dated back many centuries and the Armenian Church has always played an
    active role. During discussions, the Archbishop spoke of the Armenian
    Genocide, Nagorno Karabagh and the situation of the Palestinian people.

    At the end of the meeting, on behalf of His Holiness Aram I, His Eminence
    invited the General Secretary of the Christian Conference of Asia to
    Antelias, Lebanon.

    His Holiness welcomed the growing impact of ecumenism on the life of the
    churches in Asia, and the active participation of the Armenian Church in
    Iran in ecumenical witness in the region.
