| description | Rebuilt following the riots of 1860, the Christian district in Damascus is located in Bâb Tûma, a restricted area in the old city. Like other non-Sunni communities, its location is not justified by clear-cut differential factors. Rather, the condition of the Christians is perceived by missionaries as quite apart from any legal framework. The missionaries look upon these as dhimmî-s despite edicts promulgated in 1839 and 1856. Eventually, only exceptional conditions, such as the outbreak of cholera epidemic, make it possible to cross intercommunity borders. The Christian missionaries´ devoutness largely contribute to make their presence in a hostile orthodox environment permanent. Through self-denial, they are able to live in a Christian and Muslim urban society. Places of interdenominational socialisation, public dispensaries and schools contribute largely to overcoming urban social barriers. |
