Protestantism in Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protestants decidedly are a minority in Israel. [1]The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem is Suheil Dawani, who recently replaced Bishop Riah Abou Al Assal. [2]The Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jerusalem and Jordan is Dr. Munib Younan. [3]Charges of extremist Muslim elements among Palestinian Muslims and feeling threatened or pressured to conform with that agenda have been cited as reasons for emigrating. [4]The Daily Telegraph speaks of an 'Islamic mafia' that has conducted a series of attacks on the Palestinian Christian community, particularly in the form of land thefts.[5] Uwe Gräbe is the German Protestant Dean of Jerusalem.[6]
