Corrections
In our March 22 Feature, two errors have been pointed out. It was Jerusalem Patriarch Michel Sabbah who led the Palestinian ecumenical delegation to the Pope on March 14, not Genes Saed Khoury, as reported on page 31. Due to a typographical error, Prof. Mousa Darwish of the University of Bethlehem was quoted saying, “We Palestinians consider Jerusalem as the capital of our state.” He actually said “East Jerusalem” (page 41).
