My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years while he worked for SAUDI ARAMCO, the big oil/natural gas company. Since there were so many Christians there the company provided men of the cloth for Christian services.

Our little camp had its own PRIEST and who celebrated daily Mass every morning at 9:00 A.M.
One of the larger clubhouse rooms was the "church." It was over there where I began attending DAILY MASS. I still do today, thanks to my SAUDI boss. But, that's another story.

The SAUDIS appreciated the Christian need for Christian services. We also had a Protestant minister (and wife) who led a Friday (Muslim holy day) service AND an Anglican priest who visited once a week for the six Anglicans on camp.

Not ALL Muslim countries are as bad as Iraq and Iran.

I thought ALL Christian religious practices were banned in Saudi Arabia.
