Sept réflexions de la campagne pour l'eau 2023, semaine 7: "Nous avons encore soif d’eau vive! ", par Bishop Munib Younan

Publiée à l'origine en 2016, la septième étude biblique de la campagne de carême 2023 du Réseau œcuménique pour l'eau du COE "Sept semaines pour l'eau" est rédigée par le très révérend Dr Munib Younan, de l'Église évangélique luthérienne de Jordanie et de Terre Sainte.

Salaam! Que la grâce soit sur vous depuis la Cité Sainte de Jérusalem. En tant que chrétien arabe, je suis heureux de pouvoir écrire une réflexion pour les «Sept semaines pour l’eau» de cette année. Certes, à cause de son climat sec et de la rareté des ressources hydriques, cette région du monde a toujours connu des problèmes d’eau. Mais les difficultés auxquelles sont confrontés les Palestiniens aujourd’hui sont encore plus grandes. La crise actuelle s’aggrave d’année en année.

Seven Weeks for Water 2023, week 7: "And we are still thirsty for water!", by Bishop Munib Younan

Originally published in 2016, the seventh reflection of the WCC's Ecumenical Water Network Lenten campaign 2023 "Seven Weeks for Water" is from The Rt Rev. Dr Munib Younan, from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land.

Salaam and grace to you from Jerusalem, the Holy City. As an Arab Christian, I am thankful for the opportunity to write a reflection for this year’s “Seven Weeks for Water”. Of course, this part of the world always has been dealing with water issues because of its dry climate and few water resources. Today, however, the Palestinian people face an even greater water challenge. It is a crisis that grows worse year after year.
