Glendele- A new world order is in the making and history
dictates that those nations, who do not rise to the challenge, will be
sidelined from the world stage. The spread of Christianity in the 4th century
led to the establishment of a new world order. The Armenian nation rose to the
challenge, thanks to Gregory the Illuminator and specially Mesrob Mashtots. The
invention of the Armenian alphabet reshaped
our national identity and contributed to the creation of
our Golden Age.
The invention of printing and the Renaissance in the 15th
century and onward reshaped the world once again. The Armenian nation was able
to keep pace, thanks to Mekhitar of Sebastia. His movement became the catalyst
for the reawakening
and rediscovering of the Armenian Identity.
For the past several decades, the internet has been
revolutionizing our lives and changing the world. Globalization is threatening
the sovereignty of small nations. Can the Armenian nation rise to the challenge
once again? What role will our past
play in shaping our future?
To explore the above mentioned issues, an academic
conference will be held at the Fletcher Jones Auditorium of Woodbury
University, 7500 N. Glenoaks Blvd. Burbank, CA 91504 on Saturday,
