The panel will examine the challenges to Christian communities throughout the region following decades of conflict, terror and anti-Christian persecution, as well as opportunities to protect the heritage of this religious minority. The discussion will also address whether their project’s goals are being met in anchoring local Christian communities and drawing wider public interest in these preserved religious sites.
