MEETING OF ORTHODOX AND PROTESTANT CHURCHES IN ECHMIADZIN
On April 13-17 the Mixed Committee of Orthodox participation in the World
Church Council will be received in Holy Echmiadzin.
The WCC Orthodox Participation Mixed Committee was created in 2002 instead
of the WCC Special group of Orthodox Participation which investigated the
problems which hinder the participation of Orthodox Churches in the WCC.
During the meeting in the Holy Echmiadzin more than 16 representatives of
the Orthodox and Protestant Churches will refer to the results of the WCC
Central Committee February Session about the WCC participation. They will
also refer to several themes to be discussed in the WCC 9th assembly.
The Catholicos of all Armenians Garegin II will also receive the
representatives of the Churches. They will also meet students and professors
of the Gevorgyan Theological Academy and Sevan Vazgenyan seminary.
The participants of the meeting will also get acquainted with the life of
the Holy Echmiadzin, they will visit Geghardavanq and RA National Academy of
Science, and on Sunday they will attend the Holy Mess in the Cathedral.
