Document Details : Title: Middle Eastern Christians and Migration Subtitle: Some reflections Author(s): TEULE, Herman Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 54 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2002 Pages: 1-23 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.54.1.503673 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. |
