A response to: Christians and the Middle East
I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Anthony Ordona. I spent some time in Nablus, in the West Bank, and attended Mass at a lovely little church with a small, but wonderful congregation. One thing that most Americans seem not to know is that there are not only generations of Palestinian Catholics, but other Palestinian Christians living in the West Bank and in Israel. Their faith lives, while being fundamentally difficult, are rich and loving. I am deeply grateful each time I recall the warm familial embrace and welcome I received from them. We need to do what we can to ensure that these dwindling populations are supported and helped to grow.
