Armenian Apostolic Communities in The World

See also: List of Armenian churches in the United States

Today there are large Armenian Apostolic congregations in many countries in Western Europe, North and South America, and in South Asia.

The Armenian presence in Israel is primarily to be found in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem and, in particular, in association with the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

Also of particular importance are the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople in Turkey and the Armenian Apostolic Church of Iran (see also Christians in Iran). These churches represent the largest Christian ethnic minority in both of these predominantly Muslim countries, Turkey and Iran.

Great Britain has three Armenian churches: Saint Sarkis in Kensington in London; Saint Yeghiche in South Kensington, also in London: and the Holy Trinity in Manchester.

Famous quotes containing the words the world, armenian, communities and/or world:

    In the course of the world, a man must very often put on an easy, frank countenance, upon very disagreeable occasions; he must seem pleased, when he is very much otherwise; he must be able to accost and receive with smiles, those whom he would much rather meet with swords.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    ... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    Where the world ends
    The mind is made unchanging, for it finds
    Miracle, ecstasy, the impossible hope,
    The flagstone under all, the fire of fires,
    The roots of the world.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
