- Notes
- "The Archbishop of Canterbury made a visit to the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem from 25-30 January [2004]. His visit included time in Jordan as well as visits to many institutions, congregations and ecumenical leaders in and about Jerusalem and throughout Israel/Palestine." The Archbishop met with the President of Israel, Moshe Katsav, the Chief Rabbinate and Nathan Sharansky, Minister for Jerusalem, "who hosted a small group for discussion of the efforts for Peace and Reconciliation in the Holy Land. Later in the day the Archbishop met with the Executive Group of the Alexandria Process, an initiative started by Lord Carey with Church Leaders from throughout the area which is staffed by the Rev. Canon Andrew White of Coventry Cathedral". Includes a brief history of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem of which Bishop Riah is the 13th Anglican bishop and the third Palestinian bishop. The diocese has more than 7,000 members, 29 parishes, and 34 institutions spread across the different countries it covers. "It employs over 1500 people and has several hundred students in its various schools as well as important medical and rehabilitation care units throughout the areas".
