"Piecing Peace Together" by Barbara Glasson (December 2023)
Israel and Gaza
The Methodist Peace Fellowship has released the following prayer in relation to the outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza:
Oh Jerusalem, how we long for all peoples to be gathered up under the wings of peace and yet your heart is shattered and your sides pierced by swords of grief.
Beloved city, may mercy and justice walk in your streets and markets, show us how to look into each others eyes with love and equity so that all humanity might die to violence and live to trust our neighbours once again.
The Network of Christian Peace Organisations has written an open letter to James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, on the escalation of violence in Israel and Gaza. Details, and an invitation to add personal signatures, are given here: ncpo.org.uk/israel-gaza-october23
Ukraine
Our President, Barbara Glasson, published a letter in March 2022 calling all Methodists, all people of faith, all humanity to take steps of prophetic action in the face of the current invasion of Ukraine.
