Lutheran Church in Bethlehem
Bethlehem Christian scouts
In 1948, the city of Bethlehem was 85% Christian. By 1967, the population was 46% Christian. Recently, the Christians have dropped to 10% of the population in the metro area. Clearly, the flight of Christians was primarily during the era of Muslim control during the time of Jordanian rule.
There is also a large anti-Christian element in the Muslim community.
Discrimination against Christians
Posted on December 22, 2011
This is a very beleaguered community. Israel should be doing its best to reach a deal with them, rather than treating them to restrictions more appropriate for the Muslim community.
There are Armenian, Coptic, Greek, Protestant, and Roman Catholic, and Syrian denominations in the city.
It is from this stock that most Palestinian Arabs in Latin America sprang.
