The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), together with Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR), has issued an urgent call for prayer following news of the beginnings of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
In letter released October 9, ELCIC National Bishop Larry Kochendorfer and CLWR Interim Executive Director Michael Pryse invite members to pray, “that this fragile window for peace will hold and become the foundation for a lasting, just peace for all Israelis and Palestinians.”
