THE CATHOLICOSATE’S RELIGIOUS STUDIES COURSE
COMES TO AN END
The Christian Education Department of the Catholicosate of Cilicia
organized special religious studies courses in the Catholicosate
during the last two years. These courses included topics on
the Holy Book, the history of the Armenian Church and Christian
theology. Rev. Fr. Vaghinag was the organizer of the courses with
several members of the Cilician Brotherhood participating through
lectures. His Holiness Aram I also delivered occasional lectures on
theological issues.
Around 40 students enrolled for these courses during the last two
years. The courses will continue next year.
The purpose of these courses is to provide Christian formation and
illustrations on issues related to religion to teachers, university
students and other interested people.
