Many of us forget that there are Christians in the middle east – in fact, there have been Christians in the Holy Land for 200 years – This week S+L Radio joins a group from the Catholic Near East Welfare Association and takes you to the Holy Land for a special look at some of the Christian communities in the region beginning in Jordan. In particular we hear Bishop Salim Sayegh, Auxiliary Bishop of Jerusalem about his expectations for the upcoming Synod of Bishops on the Middle East – and we listen to music from Zane Zalis’ new Oratorio, “I Believe.”
