THE ARMENIAN CHURCH IN EUROPE TODAY
On 3 August 2011, Deacon Heratch Chiliguirian lecturer at Cambridge
University, who is also serving the St. Sarkis Church in London, visited the
Seminary of the Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia and spoke of the "Armenian
Church in Europe Today" to the priests, deacons and students.
Archbishop Nareg Alemezian welcomed the guest speaker and said, "the
presence of Deacon Heratch among us demonstrates that all Armenian students
whether in seminaries or theological faculties converge around the same
goal, namely, serving the Armenian Church responsibly."
In his response, the Deacon expressed his joy at being in Bikfaya and
meeting his colleagues at the seminary of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.
Deacon Heratch began his presentation by describing the historical evolution
of the Armenian Church in Europe and its current crisis. He then spoke of
St. Sarkis Church in London as the example where clergy and laity work
together closely. He then described the issues Christians are facing in
secular Europe and concluded that the Armenian Church should nurture the
spirituality of its people everywhere in order to avoid major problems.
Archbishop Gorun Babian thanked Archbishop Nareg for organizing the evening,
and Deacon Heratch for encouraging the seminarians to strengthen themselves
with the faith of the Armenian Church as they prepare to serve the Church.
