    Christian religious leaders call for peace in Gaza Strip
    ΠηγÎ&#xAE ;: Î`ΠÎ- 04/01/09-22:14


    (ANA-MPA) - Jerusalem Patriarch Theofilos III and the religious
    leaders of the Christian Churches of the Holy Land called for an
    immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, in a joint announcement issued
    on Sunday.
    Appealing to the leaders of Israel and Palestine, they called on them
    to stop every act of war immediately, while appealing to the
    international community in parallel to take action immediately to put
    an end to the conflict that has caused hundreds of victims, including
    many children.
    The leaders of Christianity, Patriarchs and Archbishops (Greek
    Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarch Theofilos III, Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal
    and Armenian Patriarch Torkom III) expressed their "profound sorrow
    and abhorrence over the new round of violence, the destruction and the
    bloodshed that are taking place in the Gaza Strip during a period that
    coincides in time with the celebration of the Birth of the King of
    love and peace."
