This symposium, entitled The Forgotten Faithful: Arab Christians Suffering in the Holy Land, has two purposes: (1) to create an awareness among clergy of the difficult life faced by Christians in the Holy Land, and (2) to explore how Christian individuals and churches in the United States can be empowered to assist Arab Christians through the programs that HCEF offers. Clergy from the Holy Land and the U.S. will speak and lead discussion during the symposium.
