THE ARMENIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH ATTENDS THE WCC ECUMENICAL OFFICERS’ MEETING
The two Ecumenical Officers of the Armenian Orthodox Church, Bishop Hovaguim
Manoukian of the Holy See of Etchmiadzin and Bishop Nareg Alemezian of the
Holy See of Cilicia attended the meeting held 4-6 May 2010 at the Ecumenical
Institute Bossey (Switzerland).
The meeting of the Ecumenical Officers of member churches of the World
Council of Churches provides the opportunity for the staff of member
churches to meet, share their experiences and concerns, and discuss WCC
programmatic priorities.
Following greetings by the General Secretary of the WCC, the programme staff
presented their plans for the coming year, and a thematic outline of the
International Ecumenical Peace Convocation to be held in Kingston, Jamaica
next year.
Bishop Nareg reported on the ecumenical implications of the recent visits of
His Holiness Aram I to India as the guest of the Malankara Indian Orthodox
Church, the Pontifical visit to the Church of Greece, and the visit of the
Ecumenical Officer to the Church of Cyprus. The Bishop also mentioned the
forthcoming interreligious dialogue with Iran to be held in Antelias.
