Attention, Knights and Ladies
Posted: 25 Nov 2002
Continuing CNEWA’s long-term commitment to the formation of members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Brother David Carroll, F.S.C., Assistant to the Secretary General, spoke before annual meetings of six lieutenancies in September and October. He addressed the issue of peace and justice in the Holy Land and the need for a Christian presence in the birthplace of Christianity. In his presentations, Brother David described the historic role of the Knights in the Holy Land since the founding of the order in 1099 and gave an overview of the present situation there. The Knights have an obligation to preserve the Holy Land as a sacred trust and he urged members to promote peace in the region.
