Thankfully our faith helps us through the low points and makes us humble and www.stsarkischurch.net grateful for our successes. The St. Sarkis community experienced its own emotional highs and lows over the past few months. The anticipation of our beloved Vehapar’s Rev. Fr. Nareg Terterian, Pastor visit in October followed by our disappointment when his visit was postponed due to the escalating conflict in Syria that affects so many of our Armenian brothers and BOARD OF TRUSTEES sisters. The excitement of St. Sarkis Church’s 50th Jubilee Anniversary celebration in Edward Barsamian November followed by the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy and the tragedy at Dr. Aram Cazazian Sandy Hook Elementary School in nearby Connecticut. Those who seek healing and Dr. Hagop Gorgissian renewal can always find it within the church and we did so in the New Year with joyous Amy Gostanian Christmas and festive Valentine’s celebrations. Gourgen Grigorian Shoghagat captures the events of our community as a time capsule collects Alina Kochoumian artifacts of our time – exalting in the proud moments and solemnly recognizing those Dr. Louiza Kubikian moments of sorrow. I am happy we left of on a high note in this issue. As you flip Krikor Nercessian through this issue of the Shoghagat, I hope you enjoy reliving these moments much as Sarkis Nercessian I did. May we all keep the message of renewal in our hearts all year long. Harry Seoylemezian Nayda Voskerijian Victoria Mesropian Yekhpairian, Editor Ruben Daglyan (Alternate) N.R.A.

    1 ARMENIAN EVANGELICAL BETHEL CHURCH MINISTER: REV. HAROUTUNE SELIMIAN JANUARY 2017 OFFICE OF THE MINISTER ALEPPO-SYRIA Christmas Musical Concert at Bethel Church Under the auspices of Rev. Haroutune Selimian, President of the Armenian Evangelical Community in Syria, a musical concert was held on Sunday 1st of January 2017, at the Armenian Evangelical Bethel Church. Attending it were the President of the Armenian Evangelical Community, the representative and the head of the Armenian Orthodox and Catholic Churches, pastors, clergy and lay-men of the churches, directors of schools, representatives of cultural centers and foundations, as well as a large number of other guests. The concert began with Mrs. Shoghig Shahinian Giragosian’s words of welcome who proceeded to introduce the evening's performers, Mrs. Shoghagat Selimian (Musical Conductor & Pianist), Zani Pambukian (Flutist) and Armani Hera Selimian (Singer) who presented Christmas music and songs, arranged by Shoghagat Apartian- Selimian. It was to be an evening that could only be rivalled by the angels themselves singing at the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Once more the traditional Christmas hymns gave the audience the joy of the Lord. At the end of the Concert Rev. Haroutune Selimian took the opportunity to thank the talented musicians and expressed his heartfelt gratitude. He said. “We live in a world of violence, not peace. It’s all we’ve ever been familiar with. For almost as long as human beings have been around and have had to live together, our planet has been characterized by conflict, chaos, disharmony, and violence. 2 It is important to understand that peace is more than just the absence of conflict.

  • Armenian Church Timeline
    “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose music is unheard, whose prayers are no longer uttered. Go ahead, destroy this race. Let us say that it is again 1915. There is war in the world. Destroy Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them from their homes into the desert. Let them have neither bread nor water. Burn their houses and their churches. See if they will not live again. See if they will not laugh again.” –William Saroyan ARMENIAN CHURCH TIMELINE 1. Birth of the Holy Savior Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Years later, an Armenian prince, Abqar of Edessa (Urfa), invites Jesus to his court to cure him of an illness. Abgar’s messengers encounter Jesus on the road to Calvary and receive a piece of cloth impressed with the image of the Lord. When the cloth is brought back to Edessa, Abgar is healed. 33. Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ On the 50th day after the Resurrection (Pentecost)the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles gathered in Jerusalem. 43. The Apostle Thaddeus comes to Armenia to preach Christianity. He is martyred in Artaz in southeastern Armenia. 66-68. The Apostle Bartholomew preaches in Armenia. He is martyred in Albac, also in southeastern Armenia. The Armenian Church is apostolic because of the preaching of the Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew in Armenia. 75.

  • A Brief Historical Survey of the Catholicosate
    1 A BRIEF HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE ARMENIAN APOSTOLIC CHURCH Christianity in Armenia can be traced back to the age of the Apostles. The Apostolic Church of Armenia acknowledges as its original founders two of the twelve Apostles of Christ, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew, who evangelized in Armenia, and were martyred there. It was at the beginning of the fourth century, during the reign of King Trirdates III, and through the missionary efforts of St. Gregory that Christianity was declared and adopted as the official religion of Armenia in 301 A.D. Until the 5th century, Christian worship in Armenia was conducted in Greek or Syriac. In 404 A.D., St. Mesrob together with the Catholicos St. Sahag (387-439), having the financial assistance and collaboration of King Vramshabouh, invented the Armenian alphabet in 404, which became a decisive and crucial event for Armenian Christianity. Soon after with a number of disciples, St. Mesrob worked on the translation of the Bible and a large number of religious and theological works were translated into Armenian, and the golden age of classical Armenian literature began shortly thereafter. This “cultural revolution” gave national identity and led to one of the most creative and prolific periods in the history of Armenian culture. The Armenian Apostolic Church aligns herself with the non- Chalcedonian or with lesser-Eastern-Orthodox churches, namely: Syrian Orthodox Church; Coptic Orthodox Church; Ethiopian Orthodox Church. They all accept the first three Ecumenical Councils of Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381), and Ephesus (431). The Armenian Church has traditionally maintained two Catholicosates: The Catholi-cosate of Etchmiadzin in Armenia, and Catholicosate of Holy See of Cilicia in Antelias-Lebanon.

  • Armenian Genocide Refugees, the League of Nations, and the Practices of Interwar Humanitarianism
    Keith David Watenpaugh Between Communal Survival and National Aspiration: Armenian Genocide Refugees, the League of Nations, and the Practices of Interwar Humanitarianism In Aleppo, Syria, home to the largest community of descendants of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the Middle East, a map greets visitors at the entrance of the Karen Jeppe Jemaran (preparatory high school), showing the boundaries of the medieval kingdom of Armenia overlaid with the borders of ‘‘Wilsonian Armenia,’’ a geographical construction drawn by the American president as the victors of World War I divided the Ottoman Empire among themselves. This map (fig. 1), which Wilson presented to the Paris Peace Conference in 1920, has become an epitomizing image of a lost homeland, affixed to the walls of Armenian schools, cultural centers, and churches throughout the world. For diasporan Armenians, it is a reminder of a nation-state once promised them in the wake of an attempt to destroy them as a people, then briefly established and finally lost as the principle of national self- determination was sacrificed by the League of Nations and the United States, Britain, and France in the face of the military and political ascendancy of the Republic of Turkey and its integration into the international order.1 It is also a stark reminder of the real limits of American power in the interwar period, even at the very apex of that power in the early 1920s.2 While the relationship between Armenians and Armenia and the League of Nations, especially in the League’s first decade, bears out a history in which Armenian national aspirations were abandoned, shifting and evolving member states’ attitudes and League policies still affected the status, position, and even survival of Armenian refugee communities and individuals.

  • Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches A
    Atlas cover:Layout 1 4/19/11 11:08 PM Page 1 Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches Assembling a mass of recently generated data, the Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches provides an authoritative overview of a most important but often neglected segment of the American Christian community. Protestant and Catholic Christians especially will value editor Alexei Krindatchʼs survey of both Eastern Orthodoxy as a whole and its multiple denominational expressions. J. Gordon Melton Distinguished Professor of American Religious History Baylor University, Waco, Texas Why are pictures worth a thousand words? Because they engage multiple senses and ways of knowing that stretch and deepen our understanding. Good pictures also tell compelling stories. Good maps are good pictures, and this makes the Atlas of American Orthodox Christian Churches, with its alternation and synthesis of picture and story, a persuasive way of presenting a rich historical journey of Orthodox Christianity on American soil. The telling is persuasive for both scholars and adherents. It is also provocative and suggestive for the American public as we continue to struggle with two issues, in particular, that have been at the center of the Orthodox experience in the United States: how to create and maintain unity across vast terrains of cultural and ethnic difference; and how to negotiate American culture as a religious other without losing oneʼs soul. David Roozen, Director Hartford Institute for Religion Research Hartford Seminary Orthodox Christianity in America has been both visible and invisible for more than 200 years. Visible to its neighbors, but usually not well understood; invisible, especially among demographers, sociologists, and students of American religious life.

    journal of migration history 6 (2020) 40-61 brill.com/jmh Citizen Strangers: Identity Labelling and Discourse in the French Mandatory Syria, 1920–1932 Victoria Abrahamyan University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland [email protected] Abstract This article explores the roles played by Armenian refugees in the politics of identity in Mandatory Syria by examining how their arrival shaped the discourses of inclusion and exclusion. It does so by analysing three key events: the Armenians’ access to citizenship and voting rights (1924–1925), the Great Syrian Revolt (1925–1927), and the arrival of new Armenian refugees (1929–1930) – during which a ‘Syrian’ identity was gradually confirmed against the Armenian newcomers. Making use of discursive narratives by Syrian and Armenian political parties, media outlets and pamphlets, the article dem- onstrates that the discourse against the Armenian refugees played a decisive role for both hosting and incoming communities to construct mutually excluding national identities. If the Arab nationalists used the anti-Armenian discourse as an opportunity to define a ‘Syrian’ national identity closely identified with Islam and Arabness, simi- larly, it was used by the Armenian political elite to mobilise Armenian refugees. Keywords Syria – refugees – state-building – discourse – identity construction – nationalism 1 Introduction Throughout centuries, displacement and population resettlement have not only been an important weapon of war, but also a key instrument for statecraft in the European empires and in the Middle East alike.
