Quotes

• I find that our faithful are divided into groups according to their attachment to their roots: Many of the people have emigrated to the USA in the late 19th Century through the early 20th Century. We have lost many of those people due to the lack of pastors. A large group has emigrated due to the instability in the last forty-five years: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the civil war in Lebanon, the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, there is a group who severs all ties with the Middle East.
