MEETING OF H.H.B. WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AFTER DIPLOMATS OF STATES OF LATIN AMERICA

On Thursday, April 29th / May 12th, 2022, our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos received a group of representatives of the Christian Churches, the Latin Patriarchate, the Custodian of the Holy Land, the Anglican Church and the Lutheran Church after the Diplomats representatives of the Latin America States.

His Beatitude spoke to them about the work of the Churches, having to deal with the challenges which the Christian flocks have recently faced, and asked for their support, to which they committed themselves.

 Regarding the question about the hotel “Small Petra”, His Beatitude replied that the court decided that its occupation by extremist elements is illegal, however, it did not decide on their eviction, nor their eviction from other hotels that they have seized.

“Nevertheless,” said His Beatitude, “we are fighting together and with hope for the change of such hidden situations.”
