The co-presidents are the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, the Armenian Primate of Britain and the head of the Baptist World Alliance. The pilgrimage was welcomed by local Christians as a "sign of hope" in the midst of a devastating situation. As Christians dwindle in numbers in Bethlehem, it is becoming an increasing concern for the future of what one bishop calls "the living stones" as well as the great shrines that one Christian from Beit Jala told the Archbishop of Canterbury, "must not become museums". The streets, shops and hotels are "virtually empty" said one civic leader. Baptist leader, the Revd Dr David Coffey said he hoped many "would follow their example and come to Bethlehem on pilgrimage". I PARISH DIARIES are available today, price f 1 each.
