    "WE MUST INCULCATE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL VALUES IN THE MINDS AND HEARTS OF
    PEOPLE", Stated His Holiness Aram I in his message to the Catholic Bishops
    Conference on New Evangelization in the Vatican

    >From 7 to 28 October 2012, Pope Benedict XVI has been presiding over the
    Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization for the Transmission of the
    Christian Faith. In response to the invitation to the Catholicosate of
    Cilicia, His Holiness Aram I sent an observer, Rev. Massis Zobouyan, who
    read the message of His Holiness Aram I.

    In his message, the Catholicos stated that evangelization as the inculcation
    of moral and spiritual values, first among church people and then among
    those outside the church, is the mission and vocation of the Church.
    Fulfilling this vocation today is the challenge for all churches, and in the
    face of globalization and the negative forces at work in all societies,
    churches should find contextually relevant ways to transmit the Christian
    Faith.

    At the end of his message, His Holiness Aram I thanked Pope Benedict XVI for
    the initiative and the invitation and he expressed his hope that Churches
    would work together in fulfilling their essential vocation of
    evangelization.
