A Christian delegation from Churches in Wales has visited the Middle-East recently to learn more about the situation of Christianity and Islam in the Lebanon and Syria regions, and how they affect the areas around them.
The eight person delegation also expressed their desire to further friendship with the Middle-East Council of Churches, as well as encouraging links between Wales, Syria and Lebanon.
The visit was a joint venture at the invitation of the Middle East Council of Churches to CYTÛN, the National Council of Churches in Wales, which consists of Catholic, Protestant and Anglican Churches, with the Ukrainian Orthodox Mission in Wales as an active observer.
