Diocesan Primate the Very Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan was in Washington, DC, at the close of June for the opening of the annual Smithsonian Folk Festival, which this year is spotlighting Armenia among its featured cultural heritages.
Primate Gathers with Clergy Throughout the Diocese
At the very dawn of his term as Primate, the Very Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan travelled to five regions of the Diocese to meet face-to-face with the clergy. Inaugurating his new relationship with the pastors as their new Primate, Fr. Findikyan shared his vision for the Eastern Diocese and reflected on the Armenian Church’s mission as lived out in our parishes each day.
A Message from the Primate
Dear Faithful:
My blessings and warm good wishes to you all.
I am writing to you about some troubling news from Armenia in the last few days, regarding a small, vocal group of protestors—clergy and lay people—agitating for the resignation of the Catholicos of All Armenians.
