When our hearts are heavy with concern and sorrow for those suffering oppression and war, sometimes there is solace and hope in taking action and standing in solidarity with those affected.
The United Church of Canada offers different ways to respond, from a template to write a letter to our MP (in our case, Patrick Weiler) to prayer suggestions, to donations through Mission and Service to our partners working in the area. Please see the resources at UCC Justice and Peace in Israel and Palestine.
The World Council of Churches has also developed materials for use by churches and partners worldwide during the World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel, observed from September 16th to 22nd, 2024. Please see World Council of Churches Resources.
