WHAT IS GOOD DEATH?
Issues Related to Death and Dying

by Hratch Tchilingirian

------------------------------------------------
Euthanasia (Greek for "good death"), in general, means "the causing of an easy or painless death to the patient who is 
dying of a terminal illness. Death can be induced by the patient himself without the knowledge or cooperation of any 
other persons. Or it can be effected by others at the request or with the consent of the patient. In all these cases it is called voluntary euthanasia. If death is induced against the will or without the knowledge of the patient, [it is called] 
involuntary euthanasia.1

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. For better or worse, a new era, a new "world order" has commenced in the history of the Armenian nation.

THE ARMENIAN PROTESTANTS
A Brief History

Compiled by Hratch Tchilingirian

The beginnings of the Armenian Protestant church dates back to the late 19th century. As a movement it was "imported" and "implanted" by American and European missionaries, amidst the "intellectual renaissance" that was taking place in the Armenian community within the boundaries of the Ottoman Empire. Tracing the roots of Armenian Protestantism is not as easy as it may seem. The authors who have written about the subject, while they agree on dates and personalities are divided over the reasons, rationale and effects of the events that lead to the establishment of a separate Armenian Protestant denomination.* The purpose of this article is to give a historical account of events rather than an analysis of the movement.

by Hratch Tchilingirian

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and it seems that the "preparatory activities" are still  continuing... So far the victims of the Genocide have not been canonized. There are several problems with the issue of 
canonizing the victims of the Genocide. However, before going into the discussion of these problems, let us briefly  define what "canonization" is.
