On Friday morning the General Secretary of the MECC, Dr. Michel Jalekh, and Dr. Michel Nseir, from the WCC, met with His Holiness Aram I to discuss matters linked to the two Councils and the region. In connection with issues related to the strengthening cooperation between the two Councils, they discussed the possibility of jointly organising a meeting of the Heads of Churches in the Middle East . In this context Catholicos Aram I said that the conference should affirm the Christian roots in the Middle East and analyse the root causes of the conflict.

 

The General Secretary of the MECC then discussed with the Catholicos the agenda of the forthcoming Executive Committee meeting of the MECC.
