The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan has changed its name to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan & the Holy Land to reflect the fact that five out of its six congregations are clustered around Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Most of the church's 3,000 members live in the West Bank area, which formerly was ruled by Jordan.
"We had to adapt with the situation because our church is serving in Jordan, Palestine and Israel," the head of the church, Bishop Munib Younan, told Ecumenical News International.
