What is Armenian Evangelical Church?
The '''Armenian Evangelical Church''' ([[Armenian Language|Armenian]]: Հայաստանեայց Աւետարանական Եկեղեցի) was established on July 1, 1846 by thirty-seven men and three women in [[Constantinople]]. ==History== In the [[19th century]], there was intellectual and spiritual awakening in [[Constantinople]]. This awakening and enlightenment pushed the reformists to study the [[Bible]]. Under the patronage of the Armenian Patriarchate, a school was opened, headed by [[Krikor Peshdimaljian]], one of the leading intellectuals of the time. The principal aim of this school was to train qualified clergy for the [[Armenian Apostolic Church]]. Today, there are 88 Armenian Evangelical Churches in the following countries: [[Argentina]], [[Armenia]], [[Australia]], [[Belgium]], [[Brazil]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Canada]], [[Cyprus]], [[Egypt]], [[England]], [[France]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Greece]], [[Iran]], [[Lebanon]], [[Syria]], [[Turkey]], [[Uruguay]], and the [[United States of America]]. ==Other websites== *[http://www.amaa.org/AMAA%20Directory.pdf Directory of Armenian Evangelical Churches, Institutions, Pastors and Christian Workers Worldwide] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630115601/http://www.amaa.org/AMAA%20Directory.pdf |date=2007-06-30 }} [[Category:Protestantism]]
