"THE ARMENIAN BOOK SHOULD REMAIN OUR RELIABLE COMPANION"
Said Aram I during his Sunday sermon
On Sunday 15 November 2012, His Holiness Aram I devoted his sermon to the
"2012 Year of the Armenian Book" that he had earlier proclaimed.
After reviewing the 500 years of the history of the printed book and its
contribution to the spiritual and intellectual heritage of the Armenian
people, His Holiness said that the Armenian book should remain the reliable
friend of every Armenian. He concluded his sermon with a special call to
Armenian writers and thinkers, to wealthy Armenians, to community
organizations and finally to the families and the schools to value the
Armenian book.
His Holiness asked current writers, poets and academics to write in Armenian
in order to transmit the spiritual and cultural heritage of the past, convey
the present and link the Armenian creative mind to global issues and
endeavors.
He invited benevolent Armenians to contribute to the publication of books,
or, create Foundations towards that end.
The Catholicos then requested from publishers to make the books accessible
to the public by reducing the prices.
His Holiness also encouraged individual initiatives to set up 'neighborhood
libraries' accessible to the public so that the people discover the value of
the Armenian book.
Catholicos Aram I then concluded, "The Armenian book should remain the
reliable companion of the Armenian family, the school, and the community
organizations. It will contribute to the spiritual and intellectual growth
of every Armenian. Because of its power to enrich and enlighten, it will
equip our people to enter into dialogue with civilizations."
