Armenia’s Echmiadzin will host a meeting of bishops and will be attended by Armenian Catholicos Karekin II and Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia Aram I today, News Armenia reports.
Vagram Melikyan, spokesman of Echmiadzin said that such meeting had been held in Jerusalem in 1651. Bishops will discuss a wide range of problems: baptism, publication of mass book stored at the Matenadaran Institute for Ancient Manuscripts, restoration of the tradition for canonization (the Armenian Church stopped the procedure in the 15th century), secular and ecclesiastic life.
Participants of the talks plan to set a common baptism ritual.
