This week, Diocesan Ministries staff held an online meeting with a group of people selected from parishes throughout the Eastern Diocese, to discuss the next VEMKAR module.
Some 14 church members—representing clergy, altar servers, educators, and other community segments—took part in the March 9 meeting led by Arpi Nakashian and Dn. Eric Vozzy. Their objective—part of the planning stage in the development of the upcoming Vemkar module—was to discover ways to reach the faithful with relevant resources that speak to the questions of the present day.
“The crowd-sourcing approach contributes to the vitality of the Vemkar initiative,” explained Dn. Vozzy. Findings from this week’s discussion and future ones will be incorporated into the next module of the Diocese’s Vemkar digital ministry resource, scheduled to launch at mid-year.
Vemkar’s pilot module was launched by the Diocese in the summer of 2020. Through it, faithful from across the Diocese and around the globe were able to access dozens of resources on the theme “Christ as Healer,” which illuminated the topic of healing as experienced and taught within the Armenian Church.
