A joint commission of Turkey’s major
Christian denominations has published a historic book of concise
Christian doctrine, receiving the unprecedented endorsement of all the
nation’s Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian, Syriac, and Protestant churches.
According to Armenian Bishop Sahak Masalyan, keynote
speaker at the formal book launch in Istanbul of the English edition in
February, the “most spectacular aspect” of the book is in fact its first
page of endorsements, which he declared “akin to a miracle.”
This book “expresses the shared beliefs of the churches
in Turkey. We approve its publication and recommend that it be widely
read,” the statement says.
Undersigned are the ecclesiastical leaders of all
mainstream branches of the Christian faith in Turkey: the Orthodox
patriarch, Armenian archbishop, Syriac metropolitan, chairman of the
Catholic bishops, and the church leader chairing the Turkish Association
of Protestant Churches.
