JERUSALEM CHURCHES REOPEN AFTER PROTEST

Christian leaders reopened shrines and churches in the Holy Land Saturday after a 24-hour closure but threatened to shut their doors again if Jewish settlers remain in the Christian quarter of the Old City.

The 150 Jewish settlers moved into a four-building complex owned by the Greek Orthodox Church in the Christian quarter on April 11.

The move interrupted Easter celebrations and provoked demonstrations by angry clerics and Palestinians, both Christian and Moslem. - Associated Press
