The Executive Committee of the Middle East Council of Churches Starts Its Meeting With A Minute of Silence In Memory of Gaza Martyrs
The Executive Committee of the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) starts its meeting with a minute of silence for the souls of the martyrs who fell in Gaza. Prayers are raised on the intention of peace, ending wars, and healing the wounded.
Reverend Dr. Paul Haidostian, President of the Union of the Armenian Evangelical Churches in the Near East, President of Haigazian University in Lebanon, and MECC President for the Evangelical Family, said:
“We meet with hope and faith at a time when our countries are passing through dangers and challenges, especially in Palestine. We witness great sadness and pain.
As for the greatest sadness remains on the sidelines of discussing some issues, such as Lebanon’s Independence Day which will be commemorated soon and at a time we are witnessing in Lebanon difficult circumstances at various levels, as well as disruption in the Middle East region, and the recent events in Artsakh, Armenia. They are all tragic events and developments, which push us today to Pray on the intention of ending these tragedies.”
