- "Retracing Jesus's steps in the land where he lived and preached, Charles M. Sennott, the award-winning Middle East correspondent of 'The Boston Globe', finds similar themes resonating today as they did two thousand years ago: economic injustice, military occupation, religious extremism, apocalyptic prophecies, and the quest to control Jerusalem. 'The Body and the Blood' is Sennott's journalistic pilgrimage through the vanishing Christian communities of the Holy Land, from Nazareth to Bethlehem to Egypt and Lebanon and finally Jerusalem itself, during a gripping year that was also a critical turning point for the future of the region. In the course of his journey, Sennott seeks to understand why Christianity is disappearing in the land where the faith began. A century ago, Christians represented as much as 20 percent of the population of what is today Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, but today they comprise less than 2 percent of the total population there. .... The people Sennott meets and the stories they tell reveal an Arab Christian population caught between the forces of political Islam and a powerful Jewish state. They are the forgotten element in the Middle Eastern equation". -- front jacket blurb.

- "The involvement of the World Council of Churches in the Arab-Israeli conflict dates back to 1948, the year the Council was inaugurated at the Assembly in Amsterdam. That involvement has been both symbolic and practical: it represents the deep concern of churches all over the world for the resolution of the conflict, and it expresses itself in positive initiatives for reconciliation and a continued and considerable programme of humanitarian aid. The story of that involvement up to 1956 was told in an earlier book 'The Palestinians and the Churches', by Michael Christopher King, published 1981. 'Enduring Witness' updates that story, bringing it up to 1980. But it does much more, it surveys the churches' involvement and interprets its significance". -- Foreword, p. [ix].

- "All of this means that basic tensions continue between Israelis and Palestinians. St. George's College finds itself in an ideal position for introducing people to the Holy Land and to helping them to understand the region. It is also very well placed to help people understand the roots of their faith better. Local Christians feel a sense of support when western Christians share in their worship and hear their stories".

- "Bethlehem today experiences fear, violence and division. Security fears of one community leads to division and alienation from its neighbours; the enormous wall built right through the City, consolidates division and marginalization. The promise of peace from of old is still unfulfilled in this City which lies at the heart of our Christian faith. We took the Christmas decorations down weeks ago, to be put away for another year. Yet we should not forget Bethlehem and all its people, Christians, Muslims and Jews, who live the daily reality of fear and division, and we should pray for them and for their leaders continually that all may be led into the way of peace".

- "The wood of olive trees uprooted near Bethlehem during the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian crisis is transformed into an emblem of hope and reconciliation. On the shores of the Aegean Sea, a small craft delivered a cross of olive wood from Bethlehem at morning prayer on the first day of the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME) near Athens [9-16 May 2005]. It came as a gift from the Christian churches of Jerusalem, a reminder of the birthplace of Christianity and the contemporary struggles of the people there. An ecumenical delegation also presented cross-shaped pendants for each participant, The crosses, large and small, had been fashioned from olive trees uprooted in and around the city of Bethlehem, from Palestinian land that was confiscated as barriers were constructed." "The Right Rev. Riah Abu El-Assal, Anglican bishop of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, brought greetings from the Christians of the Holy Land as well as `from all those who are working to make peace in the Middle East'."

- "The Holy Land is not the most popular place to visit these days since the latest conflict between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs. But for two Delta, B.C. couples making their first visit to that troubled land recently it was an unforgettable journey of discovery". Ernie and Betty Burnett and Walt and Claudette Hayward, parishioners of All Saints Anglican Church, Delta B.C., were accompanied by "their rector and his wife, Rev. Donald and Carleen Gordon who were making their second pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Throughout their 16-day visit, the group stayed at St. George's College in Jerusalem where pilgrims from around the world come to spend time attending lectures and touring biblical sites ... The Anglican college, which is situated in the Arab section of Jerusalem outside the walled city, is affiliated with St. George's Cathedal in the large diocese of Jerusam. Bishop Samir Kafity is the bishop in charge. Principal of the College is Rev. John Peterson". "Although they saw many Israeli armed personnel throughout their visit, the group was able to move about freely, accompanied by a guide or leader". "One day they stopped on the old Roman road to Jericho to rest and meditate as Jesus might have done. The surrounding hills of the wilderness were dotted with Bedouin shepherds and their flocks. 'It wasn't difficult to imagine ourselves back in Jesus' time', Mrs. Howard [sic i.e. Hayward] recalled. Suddenly this peaceful scene was disturbed by the sound of a helicopter flying above their heads, followed by the roar of 14 Israeli fighter jets -- and the pilgrims were jolted back to the reality of life today in the Holy Land".

- Notes
- The Rev. Robert Assaly, his wife Nancy and their four children, from the Diocese of Ottawa have been serving as Volunteers in Mission in Jerusalem. "Despite 'peace' having broken out here, little has actually improved. The Israeli military is still occupying most of the Left [sic i.e. West] Bank, including where we live. Exclusively Jewish settlements, whose very existence violate international convention, continued to expand on land seized from Palestinians by the Israeli military. The closure of occupied East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank continues and has been tightened. One consequence is that while you are free to come from thousands of miles away to worship at the Church of the Resurrection, the Empty Tomb, many of our friends and neighbours are prevented from entering Jerusalem for any reason, only 500 meters from our home". "While some Palestinian officials ask why they should even have to negotiate to be permitted to hold free elections, the Israeli side refuses to implement even the part of the Oslo accord where they agreed to allow Palestinians to hold these elections last year. Meanwhile, following the massacre by a settler of worshippers in a Hebron mosque last spring [25 February 1994], a new phenomenon emerged and continues -- suicide bombers killing dozens in Israel".
