This report seeks to present emerging evidence of the contributions made by Christians to the well-being of the people of the Holy Land through exploratory surveys of the business, social welfare, educational and other value added that these Christians generate each year. Unique in its approach, it benefits both from ICoHS’ partnership with 13 officially recognised Christian churches in the region, Professor Davis’s ongoing research on the civic impacts of religions and their policy significance Dr Tsourous anthropological work with Jerusalem's Christian communities. By beginning to explore these risks and threats this report also identifies pathways by which they could be mitigated, and positive experiences and opportunities enhanced through local innovation, policy improvements, international support, and thoughtful diplomacy. This report forms a basis for (a) refreshed community and diplomatic dialogue, (b) enhanced policy advocacy, (c) as a basis for the planning of new investment, resource gathering and support; and (d) a foundation for researchers in governments and beyond to improve the evidence base through which they interpret Christian and other minority communities in the region.
