- Notes
- "The thirty-seventh summer meeting of the Ecclesiastical History Society was held at the University of Warwick from Wednesday, 22 July, to Saturday, 25 July [1998] and discussed the theme 'Christians and the Holy Land'. The conference participants were invited to consider the various and rich connections between Christians and the Holy Places in Palestine. On the one hand, Christians go to the Holy Land as pilgrims or crusaders or tourists to seek the 'sacred sites' ... On the other hand, Christians return from the Holy Land with memories, relics ... And we must not neglect the present situation of Christians in the Holy Land" (p. 188). The "last major lecture [was] Professor Bernard Sabella's talk 'The Christians of the Holy Land: Realities and Hopes'. Professor Sabella is a Palestinian Christian and Professor of Sociology of the University of Bethlehem. He described the present circumstances of the Christian people of the Holy Land" (p. 188-189). "In addition, there were thirty-five communications from members of the Society .... including The Rev. Dr. Martin Dudley, 'Archbishop Benson and the Jerusalem Bishopric'; and the Rev. Garth Turner 'Archbishop Lang's visit to the Holy Land in 1931'. A selection of the conference papers will be published in a volume in the series 'Studies in Church History'" (p. 189).
