This is the story of one man's dream, a vision. It is the story of
an enterprise unparalleled in the history of The Church of
Scotland. It is the story of commitment in the face of danger and
dogged persistence in facing up to immense obstacles in Scotland
and the shifting political scene in Palestine and Israel. It is the
story of a depth of faith which leaves you questioning your own.
The author was employed as a member of staff of The Church of
Scotland firstly in Malawi and then in Israel from 1986 to 1993. He
was later appointed the Church's Middle East Secretary and retired
in 2010. The sacrifice of The Great War was marked by many
memorials across the world. There is none more unique or poignant
than the Scots Memorial Church of St Andrew's in Jerusalem. The
Society of Friends of St Andrew's, Jerusalem, supports The Church
of Scotland in its work of maintaining this vital resource and its
ministry in this most Holy Land. Many of the Friends have military
connections and all wish to ensure that the commitment and
achievements of Scottish soldiers in the Middle East campaigns
continue to be recognised and remembered. This wonderful book
records the background to the vision for a Scots Memorial in
Jerusalem, its creation and challenges. By purchasing a copy you
are helping the Friends and The Church of Scotland to develop and
adapt the original vision and continue their work and influence in
the region. Major General Mark Strudwick, C.B.E. - President of the
Society of the Friends of St Andrew's, Jerusalem.
