I returned in early December from a short trip to Lebanon to see how the country is coping with a million refugees and how the church is responding.
Although there are huge challenges, there are many grounds for optimism.
Lebanon’s approach to the crisis is not helped by its governmental turmoil. Its parliament meets only very occasionally and it has not had a President since May 2014. This is because the Christians who elect him or her cannot agree on a candidate, although the Prime Minister (always a Muslim) is in post.
