MONASTIC AND SEMINARIAN LIFE WITHIN THE ARMENIAN PATRIARCHATE OF ISTANBUL

Join Fr. Harutyun Vartabed Damadyan, Professor Roberta Ervine, Dr. Jesse S. Arlen, and Arthur Ipek to explore the institutions that comprised Armenian Istanbul’s 20th century theological, educational, and monastic ecosystem.

Each of the hierarchical sees of the Armenian Church has established monastic and seminarian institutions for the training of clergy. The Patriarchate of Constantinople has maintained a number of such institutions over the centuries. Among the most notable was the Armenian Monastery of Armash, whose operation, while short-lived, was very significant.

This talk will survey a number of these institutions, including the Monastery of Armash, the Kalfayan congregation, and the Tbrevank seminary of Uskudar, while also discussing their connection with Holy Etchmiadzin and Jerusalem.

The presentation will be in Armenian.

The below registration form is for both in-person and Zoom attendance. All registrants shall be provided a Zoom link.
