Abstract :
The pastoral letter on 'Christian Presence in the Middle East: Mission and Witness', which was published by the Conference of Catholic Patriarchs of the Middle East in 1992, is possible the first official declaration to recognise that, for teh first time in history, more Middle Eastern Christians live outside the region than inside. However alarming this may be, it is difficult to substantiate this general assertion with reliable figures.
