    FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF LAKE FOREST TO COMMEMORATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest to Commemorate the 100th
    Anniversary of Armenian Genocide on April 10, Chicago Tribune reports.

    Last year, First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest's senior pastor,
    Rev. Dr. Christine Chakoian, was a key advocate for a resolution
    honoring the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide at the 2014
    meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in
    Detroit. The General Assembly unanimously endorsed the resolution-the
    first of its kind to be adopted by a major American church body-that:

    * urges member congregations to recognize the Armenian genocide;

    * designates April 24 as the day of remembrance for the victims of
    the first genocide of the 20th century; and

    * honors the provisions of American and international law to prevent
    the recurrence of similar mass killings, atrocities and population
    removals and bringing the perpetrators of any such crimes to justice.

    "I pray that as American Christians recognize the Armenian genocide,
    it will engender a deeper understanding of and compassion for the
    heavy price our forebears paid for their faith," Rev. Dr. Chakoian
    says. "I also hope that this remembrance will prompt us as American
    Christians to be aware of those who are suffering gross injustices
    around the world."
