Church of the East back in the UAE! - Paul Younan - 01-15-2008 Shlama Akhay, Great news from the United Arab Emirates, the CoE now has a parish (the first in many centuries since the advent of Islam). From http://assyrianchurchnews.com/index.php?modul=news&iy=43 Quote:Owing to a range of different circumstances a large number of Indians are now residing in the United Arab Emirates. Among these are a significant group of Christians from Kerala State and other states in India who are permanently living in UAE regions such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharja. Indian members of the Church of the East also have a presence in the UAE along with a few Assyrian families. Following a visit to the UAE by His Beautitude Dr. Mar Aprem, Metropolitan of Malabar and All India in 2005, it was requested by some faithful in the UAE that a Mission Parish be formed as other sister churches have done in order to cater for the sacramental needs of their faithful.
