World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel

The World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel has begun. From 18 - 24 September Churches around the world will hold the people of Palestine and Israel in their prayers, raise awareness about the situation, and campaign for a just and lasting peace in the Holy Land.

This important initiative, started by the World Council of Churches is a great opportunity to get your Church, local community, friends and family involved in campaigning for justice in Palestine and Israel.

One of the campaign focuses this year is the illegal demolition of Palestinian homes and structures by Israel.
