The LATimes referred to it as a "rare trifecta on the calendar"

a special Forum on Forgiveness has been slated at the All Saints Church in Pasadena. Speakers, discussions, films will all be part of the agenda, as we look at "Local Reconciliation~ Global Peace."

"It seems that the only language people speak these days is that of war," said Fr. Vazken in his weekly message. "We need to change our metaphors. If we are to imagine a world with peace, we must speak a language that includes forgiveness, as much as it does tolerance and understanding."  Get the Details

Paul Freedman's new documentary on Darfur will be screened at the Forum. The film, narrated by George Clooney is powerful in content and message. A question and answer session with the producer will follow.

For Beylerian, this is his second round with the 7x77 formula. In 2005, he composed the picture of Armenian youth standing in the desert, in a symbol of solidarity and lasting forgiveness.

Studio Beylerian is the collaborative art + design team of Gregory Beylerian and Judith Bodart Beylerian. 

Boldly melding traditional forms, materials, and iconography with contemporary technologies to create an expressive visual sensuality, Studio Beylerian builds bridges between photography, painting, sculpture and innovative product and fashion design. 

Born of a shared desire to merge spirit and science, personal totem with technology, Studio Beylerian's preoccupation with fusing the beauty of the human form with technology finds its application in commissions and custom assignments for the corporate setting, advertising, editorial, special events installations, architectural murals, the hospitality industry, theater, film, and the worlds of contemporary street couture and avant-garde product design.

One of Jesus’ disciples, Peter, asked him, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who has hurt me? As many as seven times? Jesus answered “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”

Ninety years after the Genocide of 1915, a group of men and women – many of whom were descendents of survivors – marched onto a desert. On Sunday, April 24, 2005 this group donning t-shirts with the mathematical notation “7x77” lined up with their palms united in a human ribbon of love and solidarity. They walked in the shoes of a generation who knew only suffering. They walked in the shoes of Christ knowing that love is a greater power than evil.
