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.
