IN TRUTH AND LOVE

“Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” (2 John 1:3-4)

These words from the Apostle John are a profound reminder of how God’s gifts flow into our lives—not randomly, but through the beautiful harmony of truth and love. The Apostle John repeats these two words together throughout his letter, and it’s not by chance. Truth and love are meant to go hand in hand.

Truth by itself can be a heavy burden. It shines a light on what is wrong, what is broken, but without love, that light can feel blinding, even harsh. Love, on the other hand, is tender and comforting, but if it isn’t grounded in truth, it can lead us astray or leave us feeling shallow and unfulfilled.

DEATH OF KEVORK PAMUKCIYAN

Kevork Pamukciyan was a prolific Turkish Armenian writer, historian, and biography researcher.

He was born on February 23, 1923, in Üsküdar, Istanbul. He completed his primary education at the Nersesyan-Yermonyan School in 1937 and continued his education at the Saint-Joseph French College until the tenth grade and dropped out in 1945. He published his first article in 1943 in the Armenian weekly newspaper Nor Lur in Istanbul. In 1949, another article in the New York magazine Hayastani Gochnag brought him into contact with the Armenian press abroad. Between 1942 and 1956, he researched and compiled approximately 2,000 tombstone inscriptions found in the Üsküdar, Edirnekapı, and Balıklı Armenian Cemeteries.
