Notes
The author. who works in the area of interfaith relations at the Anglican Communion Office in London recently visited the Holy Land for the first time. She took a course "Abraham: Yesterday and Today" at St. George's College, Jerusalem, while staying at "'The House of Abraham', run by a community of French nuns offering hospitality to all regardless of nationality or faith". "The wall was very much a feature of our visit. .... The experience of checkpoints also introduced us to the apartheid that is developing. Being a group of American, Australian, English and Nepalese we were waved through with little inconvenience, not so the local residents". "One of our group had just completed three months with a Christian Peacekeeper Team and guided us around the team apartment in Hebron. It was a joy to see young Palestinian children emerge from a face painting session all smiles and giggles. Again we were reminded that the dehumanising is on both sides as we looked over to the Israeli barracks populated by young conscripts most of whom are terrified and simply want to go home". "During some of the evenings we received excellent lectures on Abraham within Islam, current work in building relationships between Muslims, Christians and Jews in Jerusalem, and Abraham in the Jewish tradition." "Worshipping with Arab Christians, praying for the peace of Jerusalem through psalms and intercessions whilst actually there, seeing the wall, all these were moving experiences."
See also advertisement for "Saint George's College, Jerusalem" on page 23 which lists three courses: Palestine of Jesus (20 April - 3 May 2007); St. Paul and the Early Church (10-23 May 2007); and St. Paul in Greece (14-25 June 2007). www.sgcjerusalem.org

Notes
"Anglicans around the world were asked to offer special prayers on 30 September [1996] for Palestinian Christians in East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank, and for a lasting peace". The Episcopal Bishops in Jerusalem, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the World Council of Churches have all issued appeals for peace in the light of recent violence which has caused the death of more than 50 people in two days.

"[By] Charles M. Sennott".
"First edition". -- verso of t.-p.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"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.
