PRELATE’S PAPER ON SHNORHALI PRESENTED IN ROME

A paper by His Eminence Archbishop Anoushavan, Prelate, was presented at the international conference in Rome dedicated to St. Nerses Shnorhali on the occasion of the 850th anniversary of his death. The paper was read by Archbishop Nareg Alyemezian. Archbishop Anoushavan’s “St. Nerses’ Theology and Ecumenical Endeavor” was included in the program of “Plenitude of Grace, Plenitude of Humanity: St. Nerses Shnorhali at the Juncture of Millennia,” organized by the Pontifical Oriental Institute, on November 30-December 1. The conference was initially scheduled to be part of a series of events sponsored by Pope Francis, Catholicos Karekin II of All Armenians, and Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia to commemorate St. Nerses Shnorhali, but the celebration was canceled due to the tragic events of Artsakh.
