Belmont, Mass. - The Rev. Avedis Boynerian, the senior pastor of the
Armenian Memorial Church of Watertown, will address the Men's Retreat
of the First Armenian Presbyterian Church of Fresno.
The retreat will take place Feb. 25 to Feb. 27 at the 320-acre
Hartland Christian Camp in the Sequoia National Forest. The theme of
the weekend conference is Men of Integrity.
A native of Lebanon, Boynerian played soccer with Homenetmen, a first
division Armenian football team in Beirut (1977-1981). He received his
undergraduate education at Haigazian University (1983) and graduate
theological education at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut
(earning Masters degrees in 1986 and 2001) and Princeton Theological
Seminary in New Jersey (earning a Masters in Practical Theology
in 1987).
>From 1987 to 2003, Reverend Boynerian served as Minister to the
Armenian Evangelical Martyrs Church of Aleppo, Syria. For a number
of years he also served as Youth Worker of the Christian Endeavor
Society of the Armenian Evangelical Churches in Syria. The Union of
the Armenian Evangelical Churches of the Near East ordained him a
Minister of the Word and Sacraments in 1990.
In October 2003, Boynerian was called to the pulpit of the Armenian
Memorial Church, a venerable member congregation of the United
Church of Christ located at 32 Bigelow Ave. in Watertown. Since his
arrival in the Bay State, Reverend Boynerian has served as Moderator
of the Armenian Evangelical Union of North America and President
of the Watertown Ministerial Association. He co-authored the book,
"Receive One Another Hospitality in Ecumenical Perspective," (2005)
and broadcasts Armenian language sermons on Armenian Independent
Radio in Boston.
Boynerian and his wife, Dr. Arpi Pamboukian, an ophthalmologist,
met in her hometown of Homs, Syria and were married in September 1988.
They have two sons, Antranig and Arek, and the family resides in
Belmont, Massachusetts.
Forty immigrants from Marsovan chartered the Fresno congregation in
a rented hall on July 25, 1897. The congregation formally joined the
family of Presbyterian Churches in October of that same year. The
boyhood church of authors William Saroyan and A.I. Bezzerides and
filmmaker J. Michael Hagopian, FAPC today is a multigenerational
evangelical congregation drawn from the Old and New Worlds.
