Build Your Own Armenian Church!

Ever wake up in the morning with an urge to build something. Hmmm, radio telescope? The neighbors might complain. A house for your doggy? Let him embrace the elements! How about an Armenian Church? Yes!

Well, now anyone can do just that, albeit big enough for ants and other critters, with wooden blocks! Apparently "your Wizard" will happily send you boxes of wooden blocks for a small fee.

Seriously, didn't your day just get better?

Robert Kocharian Receives Orthodox People’s Unity International Foundation Award

I had no idea there was such an award, did you?

On January 21, a solemn awarding ceremony of the Orthodox People’s Unity International Foundation for “Outstanding activities for consolidation of unity of orthodox nations” took place in Moscow. The awarding ceremony was lead by Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexi II. This year the awards were handed to:

-Armenian President Robert Kocharian for the contribution to the development of the church-state relations;

-UN 6th Secretary General Butros-Butros-Gali for prominent personal contribution to the promotion of Christian spiritual values;

-Gazprom Russian company for assistance in renaissance of the Russian Orthodox Church and other churches throughout the globe.

The Armenian President is awarded as a consistent and active adherent to extension of Christian influence within the modern society.

While some countries fight bloody wars to separate the church from the state, Kocharyan is awarded for its further integration. A more apt award I cannot imagine.
