Dear Armenians in Britain,

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Today, I rejoice with you all for this new cyber-medium that allows us to share together the news of our Armenian Church and Community in Great Britain. Indeed, the new ACCC website is a big stride in the right direction as it attempts to provide you with instant access to information about the various dimensions and compartments of our lives in this country.

The Armenian Apostolic Church is one of the oldest branches of the Christian faith. According to tradition, two of Christ's Apostles  St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew preached the Gospel in Armenia as early as the second half of the 1st century. In the early 4th century, St. Gregory The Illuminator (c. 240-235 A.D.) formally established the Church in Armenia, when King Tiridates III was baptized and declared Christianity as state religion in 301 A.D.

The Christianisation of Armenia determined the entire future course of Armenian history. In order to make the Christian faith accessible to the people in a written form, a monk by the name of Mesrob Mashdots created the Armenian alphabet in 406 A.D. Soon after, the Holy Scriptures were translated into Armenian, followed by the biblical, theological and liturgical writings of eminent Church Fathers. This most important era is known as the Golden Age of Armenian history.

The Faith of the Armenian Church is transmitted through the church's Holy Tradition. The Bible, Liturgy and worship, writings of the Church Fathers, Church Councils, saints, canons, religious art and rituals  organically linked together formulate the Holy Tradition of the Church. This faith is articulated in the Creed of the Armenian Church, which in turn defines the church's raison d'etre and sets the parameters of its modus operandi.

The Armenian Church belongs to the 'Orthodox' family of churches, known as the Ancient Oriental Orthodox or Non-Chalcedonian Churches  namely, the Armenian, Coptic, Syrian, Ethiopian and Indian Malabar Churches.

The functional structure of the Armenian Church is primarily based on the canons and established traditions of the Armenian Church which were formulated over the centuries. One of the most important aspects of the Armenian Church administration is its counciliar system. The administrative, doctrinal, liturgical and canonical norms of the Church are set and approved by a collective and participatory decision making process.

The Chief Bishop and Supreme Head of the Armenian Church is the Catholicos of All Armenians, who resides in Holy Etchmiadzin, near Armenia's capital Yerevan.

A National Ecclesiastical Assembly consisting of clergy and lay representatives of the Armenian churches from around the world elects the Catholicos.

There are four hierarchical Sees in the Armenian Church: the Catholicossate of All Armenians in Holy Etchmiadzin; the Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia (established in Lebanon in 1930, but roots go back to 15th century); the Patriarchate of Jerusalem (established in the early 7th century); and the Patriarchate of Constantinople (established in 1461).
