    THE SECOND PAN-DIASPORA CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION IS LAUNCHED IN ANTELIAS

    The second Pan-Diaspora Conference on Education was launched on July 17 in
    the Saint Asdvadzadzine Monastery in Bikfaya. The conference brings together
    some 100 Armenian community officials from around the world involved in the
    field of education, including principals of Armenian schools and teachers of
    Armenian Language, Literature, Religion.

    The official opening of the conference in the "Prapyon Doumanian" Hall of
    the Seminary followed the morning service in the Saint Asdvadzadzine chapel.

    In his speech the Pontiff praised the commitment of the Armenian school and
    its dedicated teachers to the spiritual and intellectual formation of the
    new Armenian generations. Referring to the discussions of the first
    conference on education held four years ago in Antelias, His Holiness talked
    about those proposals, which had been brought to life as well as the
    shortcomings in realizing some others.

    Outlining his vision of the second conference's discussions, His Holiness
    advised that it should be unique in its kind. "This is not only a conference
    to share our difficulties and concerns with one another. We have come here
    to talk about re-organizing the teaching of Armenological topics,
    particularly Armenian Language, Literature, and Religion. We live in
    different circumstances. In some countries there are difficulties with
    regard to classes, textbooks and even teachers. Therefore, the exchange of
    viewpoints and your proposals are essential for the coordination of our
    collective efforts. Finally, His Holiness called up the participants to work
    collectively.

    The sessions of the first day featured discussions on the status of the
    above-mentioned topics in each of the Dioceses and other concerns. The
    conference will continue over the next two days.
