Thank you to Director, Ian Knowles, for sending me this link, here, and notice of a feature on the BBC World Service of Pontifex University institutional partner, the Bethlehem Icon Centre. Congratulations! It plays tomorrow, Friday.
Typically it is difficult to access programming on the BBC website if you are not a license payer, but I’m hoping as this is a ‘world’ service, it will be accessible more widely!
You can read a feature on the great work that Ian and the Centre are doing in an earlier feature of Claritas, here.
We are finally starting to hear more about the plight of Arab and Middle Eastern Christians at the moment in the mainstream media, and Ian’s work deserves to be more widely known as part of the cultural effort for harmony in this troubled region.
