Al-Rahi to Attend Christian Summit in Damascus
The Mariamite Cathedral of Damascus is set to host an inter-Christian summit next week to discuss the situation of Christians in the Orient, An Nahar daily reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper said that Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi will attend the summit on June 8.
It will be hosted by Greek Orthodox leader Youhanna X Yazigi, it said.
This will not be the first time that al-Rahi travels to Damascus as a patriarch. He visited the Syrian capital around two years ago when he attended Yazigi's enthronement.
The summit is expected to be followed by ceremonies, including the inauguration of several sections at the patriarchate.
