With nearly no time to catch their breath, members are diligently at work preparing for a Pontifical visit by His Holiness Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia.

What a great opportunity to receive the blessing of one of the great leaders of our time. My prayer is the heartfelt unity displayed during the centennial will continue and be sustained. It is wonderful that this is a “New England ” event, but should that not mean all churches and not just Prelacy churches. The diocesan churches should honor his presence by first being invited and then attending. We must encourage all to view the See of Cilicia as an Armenian treasure for all our people. We need bold steps to keep moving forward. We have learned this month the power of unity. I pray that this is the case.
Stephan’s comment is very insightful and his words have the ring of truth, In light of the recent ecumenical service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., where his Holiness’ speech clearly was the dominant speech, I would urge that Catholic clergy also be extended an invitation.
