In powerful remarks offered at the "In Defense of Christians' inaugural conference in Washington, DC, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I reflected on the imperatives of Christian unity in the Middle East.
"Today, the churches of the Middle East, together, with firm determination, with renewed faith and commitment, affirm in the Middle East and before the international community: from this faith, no one can shake us; from our rights, from our responsibilities, from our commitment, from our lands, from our regions where we are deeply rooted - no one can shake us, not any power in this world," stated His Holiness Aram I to over 600 religious leaders and believers.
"Unity, dear friends, is a source of strength," continued His Holiness Aram I. "Let the theologians discuss issues related to Christology, pneumatology, theology and dogma. Unity for Christians in the Middle East is being together, praying together, reflecting together, acting together, struggling together and committing ourselves to the preservation of our unity, integrity and our rights in the Middle East."
