LEBANON - SYRIA For Beirut Archbishop, Maaloula is sign of the crisis of Arab civilisation - Asia News

Beirut (AsiaNews) - The abduction of twelve nuns from their convent in Maaloula (Syria) is a sign that "Arab civilisation is in crisis," said on Monday Bishop Boulos Matar, the Maronite Archbishop of Beirut, during a Mass in Beirut's Mar Takla (St Thecla) Church.

The service was part of an ecumenical prayer meeting held for the nuns taken hostage by a Muslim fundamentalist group fighting the Syrian regime. It was organised by Lumière d'Orient, a channel owned by the Télé-Lumière group, whose CEO, Jacques Kallassi, spoke at the meeting.

Bishops Boulos Matar and Roland Abou Jaoudé (Maronite), Georges Saliba (Syriac Orthodox), Michel Kassarji (Chaldean), Cyrille Bustros (Greek Catholic) and Yuhanna Battah (Syriac Catholic), as well as many priests from all these Churches were present at the event.

In his homily, Bishop Boulos Matar raised the very serious issue of the "crisis of civilisation" that marks military developments in Syria.
