On a visit with AFEDJ in mid-April, Anglican Archbishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, The Most Rev. Hosam Naoum, delivered a stirring sermon at Christ Church Greenwich.
In a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility for the well-being of all in the Holy Land, the Archbishop urged us to unite our prayers for peace across faiths.
“My friends, I ask you to continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the people of the Holy Land; not only Christians, but also Jews and Muslims, and everyone who lives there,”he urged, reminding us of our shared humanity.“Quite often we tend to divide them by our prayers or actions. But, as children of God, we ought to pray for the well-being of the whole of the Holy Land; otherwise, the word ‘peace’ doesn’t mean peace.”
At a time when the Holy Land is so heavily ravaged by war and division, the Archbishop’s call emerges to recalibrate our hearts and reorient ourselves toward a future where wholeness, togetherness, and unity triumph over dissension.
