Concerning the Dire Needs of Palestinians
~ from a post in the May 14, 2025 issue of ELCIC News
ELCIC National Bishop Susan Johnson and ACC Archbishop and Acting Primate Anne Germond wrote a joint letter to the Prime Minister regarding Israel’s ongoing attacks on the Palestinian people. Both leaders are calling on the Canadian government to provide urgent humanitarian aid. Our call for peace is rooted in our relationship with partner churches, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land.
