“All groups should be allowed to come and worship”

This year at Easter, the WCC is highlighting current realities and challenges related to religious holidays in the Holy Land, joining with local communities in action and prayer; to ensure that freedom of worship is protected in a land so worthy of justice, peace, and dignity. The reflections and voices presented here are meant to welcome the reader into the details of everyday lives—lives met with challenges that often turn into obstacles impeding everything from simple family celebrations to livelihoods, to freedom of religion and movement. Together, these voices also raise the hope for a less divided and conflict-ridden Jerusalem, and a Holy Land in which people of all faiths enjoy an equal measure of freedom of movement and religion.

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.
