Description
This is the story of one man's dream, a vision. It is the story of an enterprise unparalleled in the history of The Church of Scotland. It is the story of commitment in the face of danger and dogged persistence in facing up to immense obstacles in Scotland and the shifting political scene in Palestine and Israel. It is the story of a depth of faith which leaves you questioning your own. The author was employed as a member of staff of The Church of Scotland firstly in Malawi and then in Israel from 1986 to 1993. He was later appointed the Church's Middle East Secretary and retired in 2010. The sacrifice of The Great War was marked by many memorials across the world. There is none more unique or poignant than the Scots Memorial Church of St Andrew's in Jerusalem. The Society of Friends of St Andrew's, Jerusalem, supports The Church of Scotland in its work of maintaining this vital resource and its ministry in this most Holy Land. Many of the Friends have military connections and all wish to ensure that the commitment and achievements of Scottish soldiers in the Middle East campaigns continue to be recognised and remembered. This wonderful book records the background to the vision for a Scots Memorial in Jerusalem, its creation and challenges. By purchasing a copy you are helping the Friends and The Church of Scotland to develop and adapt the original vision and continue their work and influence in the region. Major General Mark Strudwick, C.B.E. - President of the Society of the Friends of St Andrew's, Jerusalem.
