In Face of Gaza Devastation National Bishop Calls Church to Raise its Voice

ELCIC National Bishop-elect Larry Kochendorfer has written a letter to ELCIC members following news of escalating military operations in Gaza City, including ground assault. “It is devastating to witness hundreds of thousands of people forced out of Gaza City with nowhere to shelter and no access to bare necessities,” he writes.

The Bishop-elect urges ELCIC members to write to their Member of Parliament, advocating for an end to violence.

“We stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and the West Bank who are paying the heaviest price for this war,” he continues. “Our prayers remain with our Palestinian siblings, and our commitment is to continue walking with them in their struggle for justice, dignity and peace.”
