Holy Martyrs Women’s Guild Visits St. Nersess

Last week, the Women’s Guild from the Holy Martyrs traveled to St. Nersess Seminary for their spring outing.

They enjoyed touring the beautiful grounds, sharing lunch, and learning about the important role the seminary plays in educating clergy and lay leaders for ministry within the Armenian Church throughout North America and beyond. Dn. Levon Altiparmakian, Facilities & Operations Manager, provided the tour and Dr. Roberta Ervine, Professor of Armenian Christian Studies and Director of Studies, shared valuable insights into the seminary’s educational programs.

They also had the opportunity to meet Archbishop Boghos Levon Zekiyan, a distinguished Armenologist, philosopher, and professor of Armenian language and literature, who was staying at the seminary after attending the International Conference, “Sitting as a Stranger, Evagrius in the Desert & Beyond,” held at the seminary a few days prior.

St. Nersess Invited to the Diocesan Assembly of the Armenian Diocese of Canada

The Armenian Diocese of Canada convened its 42nd Annual Diocesan Assembly from May 29 - 31, at St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church in Hamilton. Presided over by His Grace Bishop Abgar Hovakimyan, Primate, the Assembly brought together clergy and delegates from parishes across Canada. For the first time, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary was included in the discussions and presentations.

A highlight of the Assembly was a presentation by Rev. Fr. Mardiros Chevian, Dean of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary. Fr. Mardiros provided a comprehensive overview of the Seminary’s mission, academic offerings, and leadership formation programs. He also made a presentation at the Clergy Conference and had an opportunity to speak with clergy and delegates throughout his time there about the work of the seminary.

“We are looking forward to continuing to build our relationship with the Canadian Diocese,” shared Fr. Mardiros.

This summer, the Deacons’ Training Program will welcome five participants from the Canadian Diocese, and seminarian Vrej Pilavdjian will be attending their Canadian Ararat Summer Camp in August as a counselor.

St. Nersess Online Launches Bible Study Leader Training

For the first time, St. Nersess Online offered training for summer conference counselors who will lead Bible Studies during the seminary’s summer youth programs.

Counselors assisting program directors at the Deacons’ Training Program, High School and Post-High School Conferences, and Youth Choir Workshop participated in a two-session online Biblical Studies Training designed to better equip leaders to guide discussions rooted in the Armenian Christian tradition.

The Zoom sessions were led by Dr. Roberta Ervine, Director of Studies and Professor of Armenian Christian Studies at St. Nersess Armenian Seminary, and moderated by Arpi N. Bullockian, Chief Program Officer.

“These training sessions helped me to step back and approach a Bible verse with a child-like curiosity,” shared Milla Shirikyan of Holy Archangels Armenian Church in Haverhill, MA. “I was quick to jump to conclusions and try to discern meaning immediately upon reading a verse, but Dr. Ervine’s sessions helped me develop a more careful approach through asking questions. To read the Bible not just for a simple ‘answer,’ but to develop a relationship with Christ through the process.”

We are grateful for all 12 participants who dedicated their time to deepening their understanding of Scripture and preparing to serve our summer conference students. This new online training initiative further expands the seminary’s educational mission and strengthens the spiritual formation of its summer conference leadership.
