LAKE SEVAN HOSTS BROTHERHOOD OF HOLY ETCHMIADZIN
For the first time in more than a century, the ranks of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin have swelled to more than 90 members. In order to increase their fraternal ties to one another and reinforce their oath of service to God, the Armenian Church and the Mother See of All Armenians, regular clergy conferences have been convened in Holy Etchmiadzin for the past decade.
The second day of the 2006 conference, gathering the members of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin, continued its activities on August 17. The two sessions of the day took place at the Vaskenian Theological Seminary of Lake Sevan. Nearly 70 young monks and archimandrites (vardapets) from throughout the world have gathered in Holy Etchmiadzin on this occasion.
During the sessions, the priests participated in the lectures of Very Rev. Fr. Mkrtich Proshian, Dean of the Vaskenian Theological Seminary, and Very Rev. Fr. Komitas Hovnanian, (Marseille, France). Fr. Proshian’s lecture was entitled "The Priest as Teacher of the Faith", and Fr. Hovnanian’s was entitled "The Priest as Preacher". Discussion sessions, as well as question and answer periods, followed both lectures.
At the conclusion of the two sessions, the clergymen participated in Evening Services at the historic monastery of Sevan, in the Church of the Holy Apostles. The conference continues on Friday and Saturday, concluding with Divine Liturgy in Holy Etchmiadzin on Sunday, August 20.
