The community is invited to a very informative lecture series “Ararat Phoenix Rising-Reawakening of the Armenian Identity” by Mher Koubelian. The lectures will be held in four different cities: Glendale, Lomita, Altadena and Winnetka throughout California from August 25-September 1, 2017.
Throughout millenia, Armenia has been born and reborn, struck down only to rise again from ashes. This historic survival could be explained by divine providence and a unique national identity. This presentation seeks to awaken hearts and empower them to take their rightful place, by first exploring Armenia’s God given calling through many key elements from mythology, history, linguistics, genetics, culture and etc.
Born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1984, Mher Koubelian, a young pharmacist who has spent most of his life in Montreal, Canada, is an individual who holds dear his Armenian and Christian heritage, ceaselessly explores the unique identity and calling of the Armenian nation- a topic that he has presented in his community churches, youth groups and elsewhere.
