On Nov 24 2008 His Holiness Aram I presided over an ecumenical vespers service in St. Paul Basilica outside the walls. His Eminence Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for promoting Christian Unity, greeted His Holiness as a great ecumenical figure.
In his homily His Holiness referred to the fact that we are at the eve of the year of St. Paul the Apostle. Highlighting the role of St. Paul in spreading out Christianity, he identified the Apostle as a church founder, a missionary, a theologian and a Christian witness. Referring to the Church as a missionary reality, His Holiness underscored that the visible unity of the Church is the gift of God and all the Christians should cherish their God-given mission of making Christianity a living faith of our societies.
In the evening Cardinal Kasper hosted a dinner in honor of His Holiness.
