THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MEETING OF WORLD STUDENT CHRISTIAN FEDERATION

The Executive Committee of the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF)
convened in the headquarters of the Evangelical Church in Alexandria, Cairo
on June 1-9. Miss Carla Khijoyan from the Armenian Church University
Students’ Association (ACUSA) participated in the meeting as a member of the
committee and the representative of the Middle East.

The Executive Committee includes 18 members from six continents and
convenes once a year to discuss the work of this important ecumenical
organization.

Participants discussed the organization’s activities in several regions
and paid special attention to the preparatory work of the General Assembly
to be held in Canada in August 2008.

In the context of discussions on the situation in the Middle East, Ms.
Khijoyan talked about the challenges the youth of the Armenian Church faces.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
