St Mikes Tykes thought a lot about love today❤️ we love our Thursday afternoons simply hanging out with one another, eating, crafting, singing and storytelling. In two weeks time we head outdoors to the wilderness #followingJesusFootsteps #AllWelcome

With Israel’s renewed action in Gaza City to ‘clear out’ all humanitarian shelters, we’re deeply worried for our Al Ahli Hospital. They have received a large influx of new patients with injuries. Staff numbers and supplies are inadequate to cope. Destruction continues unabated.

A great evening on Roundshaw with our friends from Sutton Community Works, SDA & Springfield chatting #foodbank. Amazing to hear that in 18 mths households across Sutton have accessed £600k of otherwise unclaimed benefits as a result of coming for food. #pathsoutofpoverty

We’ve had so much fun with Panto here in church over recent weeks. Tomorrow we return to St Michael’s for our Parish Mass at 10.30 and are delighted Bishop Rosemarie will be with us for Candlemas. I wonder if the change in St Francis chapel will be noticed. #allwelcome #comeclose

Every person is made in the image of God and is of immeasurable value. This evening I spoke in the Safety of Rwanda Bill about human rights, and the danger of stating who is and is not entitled to them. I urged the government will consider this before it presses on with the bill.

There's a lot going on in the world that's demanding our attention, sympathy and support. Whatever your priorities, support of the courageous and belagured Armenian community should be high on the list. This is not only their issue. The very character of Jerusalem is at stake

BREAKING: George Warwar's henchman physically assaults Hagop Djernazian (@DjernazianHagop) co-founder of Save The ArQ (@SavetheArQ). On the 23rd of January 2024, following an attack by the hired thugs of Xana Capital on the members of the Armenian community of Jerusalem, one of the aggressors, with visibly clear intent, approached Hagop Djernazian and punched him in the face in front of the Israeli Police. The local authorities immediately arrested the assailant and sent him to the "Moscobieh" prison pending a court hearing. The following day, the Israeli Police issued a 15 day restraining order against the aggressor from the Old City of Jerusalem, as well as a 30 day restraining order from the Cows' Garden property located in the Armenian Quarter. After emergency consultations with global lead counsel for the SavetheArQ movement, Karnig Kerkonian of Kerkonian Dajani LLP, it was decided to direct the ArQ's criminal lawyer in Jerusalem, Assaf Golan, to prepare a court filing and legal package in the coming days aimed at ensuring the safety and security of the community from further attacks. Since the 5th of November 2023, Danny Rothman and George Warwar, representatives of Xana Capital, have continued their intimidation tactics against the community via bulldozers, Israeli settlers, and thugs. This marks the 10th attack that the Armenian community has faced in defense of the Armenian Quarter. In a statement, the Save the ArQ movement reiterated their stance in the face of these escalating transgressions: "The harder they attack, the harder we'll resist. We have never been intimidated and will never be." 301 Correspondent Kegham Balian (@kbalian90)

All efforts towards full #ChristianUnity are called to follow the same path as Saint Paul. We should set aside the centrality of our own ideas to seek the Lord's voice and allow Him to take the initiative. vatican.va/content/francesco…

#Gaza Hostilities have further escalated in Khan Younis. A strike reportedly hit near Al Amal hospital, but the intensity of hostilities nearby prevented patients and displaced people from leaving. #NotATarget This and more in Flash Update #99👇

Very good to come to St Andrew's Ramallah on final morning to hear from Fr Fadi Diab of the psychological and economic impact of the war for those living in West Bank and the restrictions on movement for the clergy and parishes with so many people having lost their incomes

The Princess Basma Centre in East Jerusalem is continuing its amazing work with families of children with disabilities and expanding services in Gaza in the face of almost overwhelming odds and insecure funding as a result of the war. Thank you Violette, Dr Waddah and JulieAnn

I also come to Jerusalem as a pilgrim but the stillness and quietness within the Holy Sepulchre and ancient city speaks of the tragic conflict its victims and suffering - also impacting on livelihoods. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the peoples of Israel and Palestine

A stunning view of the Jordan Valley and mountains of Moab from the Mount of Olives. Indebted to @DanielSeidemann for piecing together the bigger picture of settlements and the vital need to preserve the integrity of the holy sites in this city of world faiths and communities

Further evidence develops that the war on Gaza is not only wrong but counterproductive to Israel’s security: an elite IDF battalion has shifted from Gaza to the West Bank because of fears of an eruption of violence. Meanwhile settler attacks are rising with impunity.

As Torah Jews, we support the lawsuit filed by the Republic of South Africa at the International Court of Justice on the grounds that Israel violated the Genocide Convention in Gaza. The genocide committed by the Zionist State of Israel against the Palestinian people must not go unpunished and the zionists must be tried in front of all humanity. We stand with the Palestinian people.
