Theological Dialogue in the Vatican
ROME:  The International Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue
established five years ago between the Ancient (Oriental) Orthodox Churches
and the Roman Catholic Church has convened its regular plenary meeting from
January 28 through February 3, 2007.
The main theme for this year's annual meeting is "The Mission of the
Church".  Due to ongoing security problems in the Middle East, the
originally scheduled presentation of the joint paper on "Ecclesiology" has
been delayed.
His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians,
has appointed His Eminence Archbishop Mesrob Krikorian and His Eminence
Archbishop Khajag Barsamian as the permanent representatives of the Armenian
Church in this ongoing dialogue.  The two bishops are currently in the
Vatican participating in the meetings.
Upon the invitation of His Holiness Karekin II, last year's meeting of the
Joint Commission took place in Holy Etchmiadzin.
