10-May-03 Press Release, Robert Younes, MD,
The Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation sponsored a symposium on the Christians of the Holy Land for clergy of all Christian denominations on May 8, 2003, at the Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church, Washington, DC 20016.

The symposuim speakers informed 55 Christian clergy about the plight of Holy Land Christians and the serious threat to the existence of Christianity in the Holy Land as the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza continues its brutal suppression of Palestinians. George Ghattas, HCEF Palestine Country Representative/ Director of the Program Development Department and Fr. Majdi al-Siryani Legal Advisor, both of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem, described the horrible living conditions for Palestinian Christians of curfew, siege, checkpoints and unemployment imposed by Israeli military occupation in Bethlehem and Beit Sahour.
