Christian Information Center (CIC)

What is the Christian Information Centre (CIC)?

Since 1973, the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land has sponsored the 
Christian Information Centre in Jerusalem, opposite the Tower of David near
 Jaffa Gate. The aim is to provide information on Christianity and on the Holy 
Land. This important, wide-ranging initiative is designed to offer a service that is indispensible in a city like Jerusalem, for those wishing to learn as much as 
possible about Christianity in the Holy Land and the Holy Land in relation 
to Christianity.

The Centre operates, in its modest space, on three fronts:

1. Establishing an information service giving immediate advice to pilgrims 
and residents, with a competent, available, permanent staff.
2. Supplying the mass media, writers, scholars and religious communities 
with news concerning the various religious, scientific or cultural events or
 simply Christian life in the Holy Land.
3. Placing its rooms at the disposal of the various Churches (Catholic,
Protestant, Orthodox, etc.), for ecumenical meetings, personal contacts or 
other religious and cultural events.

In order to achieve these aims, the Centre has assembled a large 
collection of documents on people, churches, convents, sanctuaries, schools, 
scientific institutions, religious events etc.

The Centre publishes and distributes internationally the Associated
Christian Press Bulletin.

The Centre is also open for exhibitions, conferences, prayer meetings
 with Christians of all denominations taking part, press conferences and
 other activities of this kind.
