Bishops’ Appeal encourages prayer for Middle East and support for appeal
Bishops’ Appeal has encouraged members of the Church to pray that the ceasefire arrangements agreed between Israel and Hamas would hold and lead to a more lasting peace after they take effect.
This follows a welcome from Archbishop John McDowell and Archbishop Michael Jackson for the announcement of a proposed ceasefire and release of hostages.
The appeal for the Middle East, organised by Bishops’ Appeal on behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem and Tearfund, continues to be open for donations, which will be shared equally between the two organisations to support vital humanitarian work.
The Diocese of Jerusalem covers Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and Tearfund partners are present across the region.
