    COMMUNIQUÉ


    Organized by the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church, a
    Three-Day Clergy Conference will be held on October 20, 21, 22, at the
    Diocesan complex, as part of the `Tarkmanchats Lsaran'. During the
    three days of the conference, which is solely for clergy, a series of
    twelve religiously themed lectures will take place.
    Below we have outlined the topics that will be presented, along
    with their lecturers.
    1. His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western
    Diocese, will present three topics: A) `The mission of the pastor
    within
    the life of the community and the realm of globalization', B) `The
    significance of Diocesan structures within intercommunity
    collaboration', and C) `The role of solitude, silence and prayer,
    for
    the formation of Christian spirituality'.
    2. Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Yardemian will discuss the following three
    topics: A) `The church of the third millennium; threats,
    possibilities,
    visions', B) The Christian thought to escape from the world and the
    sense of faith during the first centuries of Christianity, C) The
    relationship between man-God in the view of David the Prophet.
    3. Archpriest Dr. Fr. Zaven Arzoumanian's topic is: `The influence
    of the Heavenly Kingdom upon earth, according to the Parables'.
    4. Dr. Fr. Stepanos Dingilian's topics are: A) `Christian and
    secular interpretations of human aspirations', B) Christian spiritual
    fulfillment within the career, C) `Preserving and nurturing the
    sanctity
    of the Armenian family'.
    5. Archpriest Fr. Sipan Mekhsian's topic will be: `The Armenian
    Church - nationalism, golden age, hardships it has faced and future
    concerns'.
    6. Rev. Fr. Shnork Demirdjian's topic will be: `The gradual
    experience of spiritual growth with the faithful (beginner, acolyte,
    apostle, leader)'.
    The Three-Day Clergy Conference will take place every year in October,
    in order to further expound on topics relating to ecclesiastical,
    clerical, religious and spiritual life. The main goal is to continually
    cultivate and renew the filed of knowledge of our clergy, and in doing
    so, revitalize the spirit of service.
    Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Yardemian is responsible for organizing the
    aforementioned functions.
