	Personality: The Rev. Benjamin M. Weir
		If Benjamin Weir and his family, guilty only of loving and serving the people of Lebanon, were not safe there, no American would be until Shiite friends and relatives of the kidnappers, jailed in Kuwait for fatal bombing attacks on Western embassies and residential areas, were freed.
		Born in Utah in 1925, Reverend Weir graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and the Princeton Theological Seminary.
		Had he not been kidnapped, Benjamin Weir might still be living in Lebanon, a symbol for those who know him there of the relationship that once brought so much good to both Americans and Middle Easterners.

	Review of The Arabists: The Romance of an American Elite
		By the time the Reverend Benjamin Weir was taken hostage on the streets of Beirut in April 1984, he had lived thirty-one years in Lebanon, where he had taught theology, done charitable work, and spread the gospel.
		Weir surrealistically defended the Shi'is as a sincere people with "some legitimate grievances against the United States" and blamed her husband's abduction on U.S. foreign policy.
		While the Weirs' dogmatism makes them somewhat atypical, many American teachers, missionaries, and aid workers living in Beirut or elsewhere in the Arab world share their outlook: unbounded sympathy for Muslims and loathing for the actions of the U.S. government.

	By JOHN A. BOLT Associated Press Writer BILOXI, Miss. (AP) -- Presbyterians adopted a stud
		The Rev. Benjamin Weir, a former hostage in Lebanon, and two Middle Eastern Christian leaders had complained that the paper gave Bibilical support to Israeli land claims in Palestine and suggested that Christians should not attempt to convert Jews.
		That language was changed because "the modern state of Israel cannot be validated theologically," said David Lenegar, a delegate from Bethel, S.C., who worked on the revisions.
		"We wanted to get God out of the real estate business." Weir, the Rev. Salim Sahiouny, head of the Presbyterian Church in Syria and Lebanon, and the Rev. Albert Isteero, president of Cairo Theological Seminary, all told the commissioners Tuesday they supported the rewritten paper.
