Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese Issues Urgent Appeal for Immediate Cessation of Hostilities in Gaza

posted on: Dec 31, 2008

We of The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America join most of the world in decrying the loss of life and extreme human tragedy unfolding in Gaza before our eyes.

In light of this, we make an urgent appeal to all of the faithful of The Antiochian Archdiocese to immediately contact their elected representatives. Urge them to exert the considerable influence of the U.S. Government to end these hostilities and engage the various parties in a meaningful dialogue to forge a just and lasting peace.

At the same time we ask you to keep all of the victims of this tragedy in your daily prayers.
