Diocesan Parishes
Map
The Diocese supports twenty-eight congregations extending across five countries or territories. The indigenous families who make up most of these parishes are the descendants of the Arab Christians first baptized in Jerusalem on Pentecost (Acts 2:11). As the remnant of the ancient Christian presence, they are the “Living Stones” of the Holy Land (1 Peter 2:5). Together with the expatriate Anglicans of the Diocese, they seek to uphold the work and teachings of Christ in the very places where he ministered in his earthly life. To this end, the clergy of the Diocese support their congregations through the provision of worship services, Sunday school classes, ecumenical programs, community work, adult education, and youth ministries.

St. Paul's Church
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Jerusalem
St. Paul’s is known to be the first Arab-Anglican church in the region. The church was built in 1873 with the support of the Church Missionary Society of England (CMS) during the episcopacy of the Rt. Revd Samuel Gobat. The church was consecrated for use in public worship on November 29, 1874.
St. Paul’s was in regular use by Arabic speaking Anglicans until 1948, when members of the congregation found they could not easily get to the church as it was on the west side of the “green line” dividing Jordanian East and Israeli West parts of Jerusalem.
The congregation began to worship at Christ Church, Jaffa Gate for a few years. In 1953 the congregation of St. Paul’s became, by formal agreement, part of the ministry of the Cathedral of St. George in East Jerusalem. Prior to renovation and reconsecration in March of 2011, St. Paul’s Church had not been in use for regularly scheduled worship since 1948.
With the re-opening of the Church, Archbishop Hosam continues to encourage the reconciliation and mutual respect of all people. The Reverend Wadie Far, Pastor to the Arabic-Speaking Congregation at St. George’s Cathedral, holds regular worship services in Arabic at 11 am on Wednesdays and has provided tours for interested Jewish neighbors.
In ecumenical fellowship, the church will also be used by other Christian worshiping groups.

St. Peter's Church, Jaffa
St. Peter’s Church, Jaffa
History
In 1902, the mission of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Jaffa began in a rented location. At this same time, Miss Constance Newton, a missionary of CMS from England built a school for boys and later a clinic. She also gave land in order to build the church. At the consecration of the church a copper plaque engraved with Miss Newton’s name was installed inside the church building.
In 1905, the first Arabic Synod in the Diocese of Jerusalem voted to reassign The Rev. Boutros Nasser from Birzeit to Jaffa, where he worked closely with Miss Newton and the mission. Fr. Nasser also had oversight of the parishes in Ramla, Lod, Gaza and Aboud. Miss Newton died in 1908 and in her will she donated the land across the street from the school to build the present church. The church building actually began after World War I in 1918 and was completed on March 22, 1921. The bell tower was completed later in 1942. The diocesan bishop at that time was The Rt. Rev. Rennie McInnes.
St. Peter’s closed in 1948 because of the war that followed the end of the British Mandate period. This conflict saw the expulsion of the resident Palestinian Christian congregation, including the family of retired Archbishop Suheil, whose father had been on the parish vestry. His family first fled to Lebanon, then to Jordan, before finally settling in the Rafidia area of Greater Nablus in the West Bank. St. Peter’s has remained closed ever since.
Vision
With the support of faithful partners, including descendants of former parishioners, our mission is to restore St. Peter’s Church, refocusing its ministry on service to the local Diplomatic Corps, many of whom are expat members of the Worldwide Anglican Communion. The parish will also have an outreach ministry to Seafarers through the ports of Jaffa and nearby Ashdod, Israel’s largest.
Watch here a video of then-Archbishop Suheil and the Archbishop of Canterbury visiting St. Peter’s in May of 2017:

St. Peter’s Restoration Project

St. John’s & St Luke’s, Haifa
Ministry
We seek to do God’s work through different activities of the church, worship, Bible studies, Sunday School, and visitations.
One of the congregation’s principal ministries to the larger Haifa community is realized through its close support and oversight of St. John’s School. Established in 1868, it was the first school to be opened in Haifa.
A unique feature of St. John’s School is its Peace-Education project which deals with educating students about their civil rights, promoting their practice of community service, and offering them constructive examples of conflict resolution. It is our school’s mission to encourage the exercise of Christian values through modeling positive behavior in teaching, whether in the classroom or beyond.
Vision
To bring more young people into the church and encourage them to stay in the Land; to promote peace and reconciliation between all those living in the Land.

St. Saviour Church, Acre
St. Saviour Church, Acre
History
In 1946 Archdeacon Campbell McInnes (later Archbishop) with Reverend Najib Cubain (later the first Palestinian to become an Anglican Bishop) were present when the foundation stone to St. Saviour’s was laid. Bishop Stewart dedicated the church in 1947. The church quickly thrived, and although a small building, the congregation was said to number 500. However, in 1948 the Christians in Acre became increasingly worried about their safety and that of their families. Many left the city, with a large number going to Lebanon. Over the next forty years, St Saviour’s, without a regular priest or congregation, fell into a state of disrepair.
It was rededicated on February 21, 2017 before a packed congregation of 700, as Archbishop Suheil was joined by His Beattitude Theophilos III and other Ecumenical leaders, as well as Anglican clergy and laity from around the Diocese.
Ministry
To offer regular worship, study, fellowship, and opportunities for service to the Christians living in Acre and its environs.

Christ the King, Tarshiha
Christ the King, Tarshiha
History
On February 2, 2021, Archbishop Suheil, Bishop Hosam, and diocesan clergy gathered with Fr. Hatim Jiryis and representatives from his congregation for a moving service of consecration for the Church of Christ the King in Tarshiha, near the Lebanese border. This was an historic day in the life of the Diocese of Jerusalem, as this was the first consecration of a brand new Episcopal Church in the Holy Land since the establishment of Israel in 1948. The church and its attached parish hall are the new home to a local congregation of about 120, who had previously been worshipping for several years in a rented space. The congregation looks forward to growing and expanding its ministries in this ethnically and religiously diverse city and region.
Ministry

Lebanon
All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Beirut, Lebanon
All Saints’ was founded in the 19th century, with American and British merchants and missionaries forming the core of the English-speaking congregation. The first Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem arrived from the United Kingdom via Beirut in 1841. The first baptism recorded in our archives was in 1847.
The present church building came into being through the efforts of members of that community and the Ernest Joly family who gave the land, fundraised, and constructed the church. The foundation stone was laid in 1912, but the project was delayed by the First World War. The building was finally completed and consecrated in 1929. All Saints’ International Congregation (ASIC) continues to serve an English-speaking community drawn from around 30 nationalities.
Since 1948 there has also been an Arabic-speaking congregation, mainly of Palestinian origin. Worship services in Arabic are at 9.30 on Sunday mornings, with refreshments afterwards in the Church hall downstairs. This is a good time for the sister congregations to meet in fellowship before the 11:15 am service for the International Congregation.
To this day, our congregations gather people from many different nationalities and church traditions to worship in an Anglican framework. We are a multi-ethnic Church, worshiping God through His Son Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Current Situation
Amidst the continued violence and civil unrest in Syria, while the members of the English-Speaking Congregation have evacauated the country, the Arabic-Speaking Congregation has continued to meet for weekly worship, with Archdeacon Imad Zurob leading communion at least once a month, and Layreaders leading Morning Prayer on other Sundays. Your prayers for the congregations and the people of Syria are sincerely requested and greatly appreciated. Please pray for peace throughout the Middle East.
