    THE INTER-DIOCESAN YOUTH CONFERENCE COMES TO AN END

    The inter-diocesan youth conference organized by the Youth Department
    of the Cathoilcosate of Cilicia came to an end on August 30.

    During the five-day conference, participants from the United States
    of America, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria and Iran discussed the
    challenges facing the new generation in each of the dioceses.

    They also highlighted the common aspects between the dioceses and
    discussed possible fields for future cooperation.

    The participants also had the opportunity to listen to enlightening
    lectures delivered by members of the Cilician Brotherhood.

    Rev. Fr. Krikor Tchifdjian delivered a lecture entitled "Moral issues
    and our church", during which he talked about the moral problems
    current societies face and explained the approach of the church
    towards these problems.

    Rev. Fr. Keghart Kusbekian talked about the "Christian worldview",
    pointing out what guidelines Armenian youth should follow in their
    everyday Christian life.

    In the resolution they adopted at the end of the conference, the
    delegates emphasized the imperative of reforming the church and
    reserving a bigger role for the youth in this process.

    The participants attended the Holy Masses held in the St. Asdvadzadzine
    Church in Bikfayya, visited Armenian institutions and met with
    representatives of the Lebanese-Armenian community.

    His Holiness Aram I expressed his satisfaction from the results of the
    conference and expressed his hope that the delegates would actively
    participate in the youth activities in their dioceses.
