    ECUMENICAL SERVICE AT ANTELIAS CONCLUDES THE ANNUAL WEEK OF PRAYER FOR
    CHRISTIAN UNITY ORGANIZED BY THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES

    The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity organized by the theological
    seminaries in Lebanon was concluded during an ecumenical service at the
    Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral in Antelias on January 26.

    The Primate of the Diocese of Lebanon, Bishop Kegham Khatcherian, the
    President of the Union of Protestant Church of the Near East Rev. Selim
    Sahyouni, Ecumenical Officer of the Catholicosate of Cilicia Bishop Nareg
    Alemezian, Seminary deans, reverend fathers and faithful attended the
    concluding event held under the patronage of Catholicos Aram I.

    Seminary student Deacon Tavit Kamaian delivered in Arabic the opening
    remarks, welcoming the attendants on behalf of the Seminary's administration
    and students.

    The concluding service presented a beautiful compilation of the hymns and
    spiritual music of each church. Led by Rev. Magar Ashkarian, the Seminary
    choir presented a selection of Armenian hymns, leaving a lasting impression
    on the attendants. The final hymn of the day, composed for this special
    occasion, was performed jointly by the choirs of all the seminaries,
    creating great excitement.

    The chairman of the inter-Seminary committee took to the stage for the
    concluding remarks, expressing his gratitude for the organization of the
    event. He also thanked the Armenian Church and His Holiness for their warm
    reception.

    The event created great opportunities for fostering bonds of unity between
    young faithful with a calling to serve the noble mission of the Church.
