Abstract
In 1887 Albert Benjamin Simpson, Canadian Presbyterian minister working in New York, founded Evangelical Missionary Alliance for training and sponsoring consecrated persons of both sexes, lay as well as clerical carry gospel to all nations. (These are words of 1887 constitution of Evangelical Missionary Alliance.) Ten years later this alliance and another one of Simpson's organizations were merged form Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA). In 1965 CMA became formally identified as denomination. Today it has about 3.5 million members worldwide. In late 1890s two CMA women, one American and one British, arrived in Jerusalem begin mission in Holy Land. Typically for day, annual CMA reports called them by their family names, Miss Dunn and Miss Brown. These Bible women, as CMA called them, lived simply and ministered anyone who was in need. Unlike, say, some of nineteenth-century Anglican missionaries, they did not target any particular ethnic or religious group in Jerusalem. A few years later other English-speaking Alliance missionaries founded school and clinic in Hebron; Alliance Church in Tianjin, China, began sponsoring missionary Jerusalem as well. Soon after turn of twentieth century CMA mission was ready establish what it called a tin (it was made of block and corrugated metal) at 56 Prophets Street, often today called by its Hebrew name, Ha Navi'im. The tin tabernacle has served as permanent church building and training center for CMA mission in Holy Land. The Palestine Bible Institute, bible college, was completed at 55 Prophets Street in 1913. In time CMA missionaries spread out what are now Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan; today most CMA congregations in Middle East are in Syria. After declaration of State of Israel in 1948 it became impossible for Arab Christians visit facility on Prophets Street, which was in Israeli-controlled section of Jerusalem. Therefore community procured another building in Christian Quarter of Old City, at 16 Al-Rusul. The building may have been bakery or storage facility for olive oil. It became CMA church in 1951. When CMA organized church on Al-Rusul, Old City was still controlled by Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. As result of Six Day War of 1967 entire city of Jerusalem came under control of Israel, and it again became possible for Arab Christians use facility on Prophets Street. But CMA maintained church in Christian Quarter, and it experienced growth after mid-1980s, when young Lebanese refugee with an attractive spirituality was living there, and made it available community twenty-four hours day. In 2003 CMA reorganized its Arab ministries in Israel/Palestine as Evangelical Alliance Church of Holy Land (EACH). This oversees only three church buildings (the one in Christian Quarter and two others) and some house churches, and rather than creating national synod just for them, CMA operates them through elected Synod of National Evangelical Alliance Church of Jordan. The Palestine Bible Institute is now Alliance Leadership Training Institute, and trains Arab Christians for ministry. The Governing Board for EACH is known as Al Abram (meaning the high father). Al Abram is composed of committee of elders elected by three organized congregations in Israel/Palestine, and it provides overall direction and supervision for all ministries of EACH. (Much of this information has been kindly provided via e-mail by Roger Elbel, pastor and teacher of CMA who has lived in Jerusalem for over two decades.) Arab Christians in an evangelistic church such as CMA benefit from having base in Israel, where conversion from Islam Christianity is not illegal. On Friday evening in February 2010 visitor makes his way prayer service at this CMA church in Christian Quarter. …
