LONDON, JULY 21, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Even though Arab Christians constitute a minority in the Middle East, they are a minority that matters, says the president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialouge.

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran said this Tuesday at a two-day conference on Christians in the Holy Land that took place this week at Lambeth Palace.

Jointly hosted by the Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury and the Catholic Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster, the conference examined the challenging situation in which Christian communities in parts of the Holy Land find themselves.
