HIS HOLINESS ARAM I DELEGATES
A REPRESENTATIVE TO EGYPT

Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian, Primate of the Diocese of Tehran has been
delegated on a special mission to Cairo by His Holiness Aram I.

The Archbishop will meet with the Sheikh of Azhar for consultations on
issues related to the Christian-Muslim dialogue. He will then participate in
the meeting of the inter-religious dialogue committee which also includes
Christian spiritual leaders and officials. His Holiness has played an
important role in the establishment of this committee which operates under
the Middle East Council of Churches.

Archbishop Sebouh had also been invited to represent His Holiness Aram I in
an inter-religious dialogue meeting in Isfahan. He could not attend the
meeting, however, because of his official visit to Egypt.
