Qatar may be best known as the home of Al Jazeera television, but an Anglican congregation now plans to build the Country’s first Christian church since Islam’s arrival in the 7th century – a step that risks angering local Muslims, Associated Press has reported.
Clive Handford, the Nicosia-based Anglican bishop in Cyprus and the Gulf, says construction will start in Doha in early 2006 on the $7mn Church of the Epiphany, along with a conference centre and meeting rooms.
The Anglican church and three other Christian houses of worship are planned for a special compound in Qatar, Associated Press has added
