The Christian Today website reports that the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion has expressed his "deep" concern over the declining number of believers in the Middle East, during a four-day visit to the region that began on February 20,2010.
"We worry deeply about the dwindling of numbers here," said Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, not long after arriving in Jordan for the first leg of his visit.
"I believe it's the first importance that we keep that solidarity, friendship, and presence," he added.
Dr. Williams, who is regarded as "first among equals" within the 77 million-strong Anglican Communion, plans to meet Christians in Jordan, Israel, and Palestine during his visit, which ends tomorrow (February 23, 2010).
