- Title
- Advisory Council on Church and Society statement on Israel and Palestine, 1974.
- 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.

- "For 16 months, the Rev. Benjamin Weir was in captivity as a hostage in Lebanon; and in a sense his family also was held hostage. In their own words, family members tell of their private ordeal and the great release they themselves experienced when husband and father Ben was unexpectedly set free. The program features excerpts from Ben Weir's September 24, 1985 homecoming press conference at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., plus exclusive interviews with Ben Weir, Carol Weir, and other Weir family members."
