    "WE NEED QUALIFIED CLERGY WHO ALSO HAVE RECEIVED UNIVERSITY DEGREES", STATED
    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I

    Addressing the members of the brotherhood recently, Catholicos Aram I said
    that true dialogue between clergy and laity could take place only when our
    clergy are academically equipped to understand the concerns and problems.
