/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Under the Auspices of His Eminence, Archbishop Khajag
Hagopian, Prelate, the Armenian Prelacy of Canada’s Executive Council
held a one-day seminar for the Prelacy’s Church Boards of Trustees,
Canadian Armenian National Assembly Representatives and World Assembly
Delegates in Kingston, Ontario on October 31, 2009.

Rev. Fr. Karnig Koyounian, Sourp Hagop Armenian Apostolic Church Pastor
and Prelacy Religious Council member gave the first lecture of the
seminar on "Reforming Rituals." Archbishop Hagopian followed with
"Contemporary Social, Moral and Religious Issues," and His Grace,
Bishop Anoushavan Tanielian, Vicar of the Eastern Prelacy of the
United States, presented "The Challenges faced by the Armenian Church
in North America."

The series of lectures triggered intensive question and answer
sessions, from which many ideas and suggestions were brought to light
and seminar attendants took the opportunity to establish and prepare
agendas for future projects related to these issues.

His Eminence Archbishop Hagopian closed the seminar with a few words
of encouragement to overcome the challenges the Armenian Church faces
today, reported the press office of AAC Canadian Diocese.
