THE REPRESENTATIVE OF PATRIARCH ZAKKA I VISITS HIS HOLINESS
Patriarch Zakka Iwas I of the Syrian Orthodox Church delegated Archbishop
Daniel to pay His Holiness Aram I a visit on August 19. Archbishop Daniel
presented a letter from Patriarch Zakka to the Armenian Pontiff, and
consulted him on a number of issues on behalf of the Patriarch.
The Patriarch’s representative and His Holiness also discussed new avenues
of cooperation between the two Churches. Archbishop Daniel, who recently
replaced Archbishop Efrem as the Syrian Orthodox Primate of Beirut, invited
His Holiness to preside over the Holy Mass to be held on the occasion of his
election to the mentioned post.
