-The Anglican And Eastern Churches Association Annual meeting: The annual meeting of the Anglican Eastern Churches association took place Faith House on Monday evening, 16th of October. The guests were greeted by Rev. Fr. William Taylor the chairman of the association greeted the representatives of the Anglican, Eastern and Oriental Churches present at the meeting.
- Ecumenical Relations of the Armenian Church: There are more than one billion Christian in the world and the Christianity is the world's largest religion. Due to our history, especially emigration and replacement of Armenian people the original boundaries of the Church have been changed and the Church and her flock encounter a lot of practical and theological challenges in terms of ecumenical and inter-Church relations.
To answer to ecumenical questions, the Primate and the clergy as well as lay members of the diocese of the Armenian Church in the United Kingdom held monthly lectures on history, spirituality, contemporary ecumenical and interfaith relations of the Armenian Church.
Based on the request of the faithful the first lecture will be held by His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan particularly referring on Armenian Georgian Church relations and questions of the Church properties on 7th of November at Gulbenkian hall, at 7 pm.

| How did the Badarak evolve? |
| |
| St Gregory the Illuminator and his contemporaries did not celebrate the Divine Lithurgy, or badarak, as we know the service today. The origin and development of the Armenian badarak are of a later date than the early fourth century, when St. Gregory the Illuminator lived and converted the Armenian nation to Christianity. |

| |
| Must I fast before taking Holy Communion? |
| |
The answer to this question is YES. St. Paul has the following say about this matter in 1 Corinthians 11:27 and 29:
27. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.
29. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgement upon himself.
