THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE WCC "FAITH AND ORDER"
COMMISSION MEETING
The "Faith and Order" Commission of the World Council of Churches (WCC)
organized a meeting under the general theme "The Church and its Mission" in
Cairo on December 6-8. Primate of the Diocese of Lebanon, Bishop Kegham
Khatcherian, represented the Catholicosate of Cilicia in the meeting.
The meeting discussed issues related to the church and the concept of sin,
the limits of differentiation among churches, the concept of local churches
and the place of the church in the world and for the world.
The "Faith and Order" Commission of WCC works on preparing common ground
between churches, primarily by reviewing theological issues that contribute
to this unity. The Commission discusses various theological topics with its
member churches for this purpose.
