    ARMENIAN CHURCH PARTICIPATES IN RESIDENTIAL PRAYER SERVICE

    Fr. Mardiros Chevian, dean of the St. Vartan Cathedral, represented
    Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian
    Church of America (Eastern), during a prayer service with President and
    Mrs. George Bush on Thursday (9/2). Fr. Chevian was one of 25 clergy
    invited to the intimate interfaith service at the Roman Catholic Church
    of Our Savior in New York City. He was representing the Primate, who is
    out of the country.

    During the 45-minute service, the Rev. George Rutler spoke of the story
    of the calming of the sea by Jesus. He said calm only comes when we
    believe the Lord is the only one with the true power to bring peace and
    calm.

    "His message was that our Lord can only bring calm to the life of our
    nation and our world, and only if we put our trust in him," Fr. Mardiros
    said of the service, which was also attended by former President George
    H.W. Bush, his wife, other family members, administration officials, and
    state and local politicians.
