Evangelical Christians will meet here at the end of the month for an international congress for the peace of Jerusalem, Dr. Douglas Young, one of the organizers, told a press conference. The aim of the congress will be to demonstrate Christian support for Israel at the time of political trials. Young said that American Evangelicals constitute a pro-Israel body for greater in size than the Jewish community. According to Young, their pro-Israel position has been translated into overt political action, such as pro-Israel advertisements in American newspapers. Premier Menachem Begin is scheduled to address the congress.
