How absurd a notion it is to con sider having a Peace Center in one of the most war-torm regions of the world. Such has been the response I have often received when pursuing the dreams of the Dormition Abbey/a century old Benedictine Monastry in Jerusalem. However, the more shocking idea seems to be participation of Armenians in this endeavor. While there is foundation for skepticism, the most appropriate answer to such a view seems to be - how is it possible that there not be a Center for Peace in the city of Jerusalem, capital of three monotheistic religions — the City of Peace.

THE END OF THE BEGINNING The Church in Armenia
by Hratch Tchilingirian
It is the end of the beginning-the euphoria that began with the freedom and independence of Armenia is over. Instead, hardship, struggle and anxiety have become part of everyday living in Armenia.
