Damascus is the city where the conversion of Paul took place and will be the site of many of the activities. Damascus is also the place where the Melkite (Catholic) and Orthodox Patriarchs of Antioch currently reside. The following is a pastoral letter from the Melkite Patriarch, Gregorios III, which, after a few paragraphs of formal platitudes, outlines some of the plans in Damascus. It also touches briefly on issues of Arab Christian and Muslim relations in the Middle East.
