Description:
The 183rd United Presbyterian Church General Assembly (1971) recommended that
the Council on Church and Society prepare background material and
recommendations on the Middle East question for consideration at the 184th
General Assembly (1972). The Council subsequently created a Middle East Task
Force to undertake the study and provide the Council a report that was to
include a quality background paper that reviews the history of the conflict,
clearly delineates the positions of the parties, highlights realistic
possibilities for a durable settlement, and provides a Christian theological
frame of reference. Includes correspondence from Dean H. Lewis, Director of
the Advisory Council on Church and Society to Ben Weir about the report.
