REPRESENTATIVES OF CHURCHES AND CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES MEET FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN ANTELIAS

On Tuesday 6 April 2010, representatives of historic churches and recently
established churches and communities met in Antelias upon the invitation of
His Grace Bishop Nareg Alemezian, the Ecumenical Officer of Holy See of
Cilicia.

After welcoming the guests, Bishop Nareg asked the participants to introduce
themselves, the churches they represented, and the date the churches or
communities were established in Lebanon or the Region. After the first round
of introductions, Bishop Nareg asked them to describe briefly their vision
and understanding of Christian unity, and recommend ways of cooperation and
communication.

At the end, the group decided to continue such meetings and proposed to meet
again in September 2010 in Antelias.
