The Anglican Communion-Oriental Orthodox Dialogue International Commission Meets at the Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias (Lebanon)

On 6 August 2014, His Holiness Aram I met with the Officers of the Commission: Co-Presidents Archbishop Geoffrey Rowell and Metropolitan Bishoy, and Co-Secretaries Archbishop Nareg Alemezian and Rev. Canon Dr. Alyson Barnett-Cowan; the Ecumenical Officer, Rt. Rev. Housig Mardirossian, also attended.

 

The Co-Presidents briefed Catholicos Aram I on the outcomes of their two-day meeting and discussed priorities for the next period. His Holiness welcomed their conclusions and proposed that in view of the historical ties between the Anglican and Oriental Churches, it was important, along with Christology and ecclesiology, to discuss moral and ethical issues that are creating divisions within the churches and the ecumenical movement.
