WCC supports United Church of Canada's Israel-Palestine advocacy

"Ecumenical and international support for the United Church of Canada (UCC) in its on-going work for peace with justice in Israel-Palestine" was expressed by the World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia. In a letter sent today to the leaders of the church, as it begins its 2009 General Conference in Kelowna, Canada, Kobia states: "This is a cause the UCC has faithfully supported. It is one in which your efforts to speak truth to power and to discern just solutions with love have inspired other member churches of the WCC."
