Few would disagree that the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Church is beautiful and mystical. Yet for many the Badarak is little more than an archaic pageant, and doesn’t seem to accomplish anything. Yet by carefully reading selected prayers, litanies and hymns of the Divine Liturgy, Fr. Daniel will show how the choir and people in the pews fit into the larger purpose of the Badarak. When all of the ministers of the Badarak—especially the people—recognize their role, then the Liturgy achieves the life-giving purpose that Jesus Christ intended for it; to really and truly breathe life and hope into our lives and our communities.

Join us in the Shahnasarian Hall on Friday Sept. 30 at 7 PM for our special guest speaker; food fellowship provided.
