Voice of churches vital during UN women’s rights talks

As the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68) drew to a close, a look back shows that, this year, the World Council of Churches (WCC), through its Ecumenical Office to the United Nations, brought many voices to the table to speak on gender equality, women's rights, and empowerment. 

Des mots de ténacité résonnent dans les décombres

«Nous ne quitterons pas Gaza tant qu’il y aura une église debout.»

«Nous ne serons pas les derniers chrétiens à vivre à Gaza.»

«Nous avons tout perdu, mais nous ne perdrons ni notre mission, ni notre appartenance à ce lieu cher à nos cœurs.»

«Le christianisme a commencé ici et restera ici.» 

Tels sont les mots prononcés par Nader Abu Amsha, directeur exécutif du Département du service aux réfugiés de Palestine du Conseil des Églises du Moyen-Orient (DSPR-CEMO), qui tâche simplement de les aider à survivre jusqu’au lendemain. 

Advocacy Outline - WCC Easter Initiative 2024

As we witness the ongoing violence and injustice in the Holy Land and seek to stand in solidarity with its peoples struggling to find peace, the 2024 WCC-EAPPI Easter initiative lifts up the call to roll away the heavy stone of violence, war, and occupation, pain, and suffering, and to remind the world of what is needed to bring about peace, and to transform swords into ploughshares.

Words of steadfastness ring from the rubble

We won’t leave Gaza as long as there is a standing church.” 

We will not be the last Christians living in Gaza.” “

We lost everything, but we can’t lose our mission and our belonging to this place dear to our hearts.”

Christianity started here and will continue to be here.”  

These are the words people are uttering as Nader Abu Amsha, executive director of Department of Services to Palestinian Refugees of the Middle East Council of Churches (DSPR-MECC), tries to help them simply survive the next day.
