Revd Mark Slaney had the opportunity to visit the Holy Land at the beginning of March. He considers that the Christian Church and community is diminishing in the Holy Land is diminishing. Palestinian Christians fear that we could see Christians disappear from the Holy Land altogether in a relatively short space of time.

The original and oldest indigenous Christian community in the world is in real danger of exile or extinction.
