OUR FAITH

The Armenian Church has participated and recognized the doctrinal and canonical validity of the first three ecumenical councils, Nicea (325AD), Constantinople (381-AD) and Ephesus (431-AD).

The Armenian Church refused the confusion of the two natures of Christ and recognized in Him a divine and human nature, adopting the definition "One nature in the Incarnate God".

The Faith of the Armenian Church is transmitted through the church's Holy Traditions, this on-going life of the church from the time of Christ to our present time. The Bible, liturgy and worship, writings of the church fathers, church councils, saints, canons, religious art and rituals linked together formulate the Holy Traditions 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 professes her faith in the context of her worship. Her worship and liturgy, constitute a prime source, for teaching her faith. History and tradition, on the other hand, define and formulate the "articles of faith" and are transmitted from generation to generation.
