Etchmiadzin Journal
How pleased and proud I was to learn that Armenia has a quickly developing military chaplaincy program. In 1997 His Holiness Catholicos Karekin I appointed Father Vertanes Abrahamian as the first chaplain of the Armenian Army. "From time to time I will send you updates on my adventures here. Perhaps the biggest challenge is getting to know so many people - there are a few hundred people who live and/or work or study in the Mother See. It's a very well organized operation, which is most competently overseen be the Catholicos himself." | read more
