An interview with Archbishop Kissag Mouradian Argentina Chile

This morning in Jerusalem it is a bright beautiful sunny day.  I am talking to Archbishop Kissag Mouradian from the Armenian Apostolic church of Buenos Aires where he is prelate or chief of all that community in Argentina and Chile.  "Jerusalem is my country I was spiritually raised here and studied in the seminary of St. James of Armenian Patriarch.  "The Christians of all denominations come together and pray together in the pilgrimage here in Jerusalem.  The first one I attended was in Brazil the second in Greece the third in Rome and now this very special pilgrimage in Jerusalem where all Christian history has happened."  The archbishop is clear he believes the unity will be united in love and prayers like a rainbow of different faith traditions; to be a variety that is united in a unique colorful arch.  "We are still soul searching as we try to find God the father and feel we are all children of the same father while keeping our traditions and identity."  Translated by Arpy Gouloomian from Los Angeles. The archbishop is participating in the 2013 peace unity and ecumenical pilgrimage in Jerusalem.
