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.

Title: Belle Hawkes Papers
Description: Born as Sarah Belknap Sherwood, Belle Hawkes was appointed to the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. East Persia Mission in 1883. In 1884, she married the Reverend James W. Hawkes, also of the East Persia Mission. Stationed in Hamadān for 36 years, she ministered to the needs of Armenian, Jewish, and Muslim women and children. Her home became a center of missionary service and hospitality to the flow of travelers between Tehran and Baghdad. She died in service in 1919. The collection consists primarily of Belle Hawkes' outgoing correspondence addressed to her family during her years in Hamadān, and her diaries. It also contains photographs of the East Persia missionaries, including Belle herself. View the collection guide to learn more.
