Heads of Churches in Jerusalem make urgent
appeal to President Bush
~April 2, 2003~
Tuesday April 2, 2002
Mr. President,
We appeal to you to stop immediately the inhuman tragedy that is
taking place in this Holy Land in our Palestinian towns and villages.
Only this morning the Israeli tanks have reached the Church of the
Nativity in Bethlehem, the City of Lord Jesus Christ.
There are wanton indiscriminate killings. Very many people are
deprived of water, electricity, food supplies and basic medical needs.
Many of our religious institutions have been invaded and damaged.
We call upon your Christian conscience because we know you are the
only one who can stop this tragedy immediately.
We in return will play our part in mediating for the peace and
security of all the people in this land, both Israeli and Palestinian.
Signed
The Patriarchs, Archbishops and Heads of all the Christian Churches in
Jerusalem. |
