khodja Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 The Armenian Church is one of 5 pre-Calcedonian Churches. Gregorian Church, Armenian Orthodox Church, and Armenian Apostolic Church are different names for the same religous sect. Less than 10% of Armenians worldwide belong to the Armenian Catholic rite or to the Armenian Evangelcal Church (Protestant). There are also a small number of Armenians who belong to the Greek Orthodox Church (called Hay-Horoms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, being Armenian has some privileges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
