APF Ecumenical Prayer Vigil

We urge people to see this prayer vigil as so much more than just words in a formal liturgy, but rather as an outpouring of concern for Palestinians and Israelis – Christians, Muslims, and Jews – whose lives are overtaken by broken relationships and the conflict which flows from these divisions.” – Rev. Mark  B. Brown,          LWF – Jerusalem Representative

 

On 24 December 2012, the ACT Palestine Forum launched its monthly Ecumenical Prayer Vigil for Peace in the Middle East. Every month, particularly on the 24th, APF calls attention to an issue facing the people of the Holy Land because of the unresolved conflict and offers rolex daytona rolex calibre 7750 mingzhu engine 116518cdr mens hands and markers information and worship resources to those who choose to gather and pray for peace. This global movement will continue until the Israeli occupation is dismantled, violence in the Middle East ends, and all can celebrate a just and lasting negotiated resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
