Prayer Vigil for Peace in Armenia to be held at Diocese Headquarters
Earlier today His Eminence Abp. Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the
Western Diocese, called a special Prayer Vigil for Peace in Armenia to
be held at 7:00pm at the Headquarters of the Western Diocese (3325 N.
Glenoaks Blvd., Burbank, CA). This prayer vigil will bring together
the faithful of the Armenian Church to pray for the peaceful
resolution to the recent political strife in the Republic of Armenia
following recent presidential elections.
A recently released statement by the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin
called upon both the opposition and the state to operate within
framework of the law and "exert their utmost efforts using peaceful
means to find solutions to the unresolved issues and challenges."
Regarding the prayer vigil the Primate said, "The faithful of the
Western Diocese stand united in promoting a peaceful and just
resolution to the political tension besetting our blessed motherland.
We will pray that the Lord grace the Armenian people with love,
patience, and compassion so that they may pass through this
tribulation harmoniously."
The faithful of the Armenian Church are invited to attend this prayer
vigil to stand in solidarity in prayer for peace. For more
information, call the Western Diocese at (818) 558-7474.
