Professor Theo van Lint
Chair of the Faith and Chaplaincy Committee
I am grateful to the Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andrew Teal for opening the doors of Pembroke chapel to the Oxford Armenian community to celebrate the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is a deeply moving experience to participate in this liturgy, sung by the Oxford Armenian Choir directed by Marianna Asatryan, together with all who wish to take part. It lends a spiritual dimension to the study of Armenia and the Armenians undertaken in college by the Calouste Gulbenkian Professor in Armenian, postdocs, and students
