Caption
Designed Protestant church on Mount Zion - present state of the building, 1845. Foundations of a church being built in Jerusalem by the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews. '...the erection of the Church has been frustrated by every possible vexation, more especially by interference with the workmen; and, say the London Society, "whilst the Greeks, Roman Catholics, Armenians, and other minor sects of Christians, enjoy the permission to worship God in their respective temples, and whilst no privilege is withheld on the representations of French and Russian diplomacy, the pure Reformed religion of the British nation, to whom, under God, Turkey is indebted for the recovery of Syria, should be alone proscribed, and her Protestant children alone denied the possession of a consecrated building for the service of God..."' From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
