Religious freedom activists want to see this historic school in Turkey reopened.

Once the world’s leading Eastern Orthodox seminary, Halki was closed by the Turkish government 43 years ago. The US and religious freedom activists want it reopened. But Turkish officials have long said that won't happen until Greece improves conditions for Turkish minorities living there.
