DURING A MEETING WITH THE ARMENIAN ECCLESIASTICAL BROTHERHOOD
SPIRITUALITY MUST RADIATE THROUGH OUR LIVES AND OUR MISSION
On the morning of Thursday, October 19, H.E. Archbishop Moushegh
Mardirossian, Prelate, welcomed executives of the Armenian
Ecclesiastical Brotherhood to the temporary Prelacy offices in Encino.
Also participating in the meeting was Christian Education Department
Co-Director Very Rev. Fr. Barthev Gulumian, who is the representative
of the Prelate at the Ecclesiastical Brotherhood.
During the meeting, the Brotherhood executives briefed the Prelate
on their current and future activities. The Prelate commended their
devotion to the Armenian Apostolic Church, as well as their role
in the spiritual nourishment of Armenian youth, and subsequently
reaffirmed the Prelacy’s support to the Ecclesiastical Brotherhood.
The Prelacy has a history of collaboration with the Brotherhood
including, but not limited to, Prelacy clergy members visiting the
center of the Brotherhood to lecture to the faithful.
In keeping with the collaborative tradition, the members requested that
the Thanksgiving event they are planning for November 20 be held under
the auspices of the Prelate. Furthermore, on the evening of Saturday,
October 21st, Very Rev. Fr. Barthev Gulumian will be lecturing to the
youth at the Brotherhood’s center on the Armenian Church and Halloween.
