The Church of Ireland has launched an emergency appeal to help resettle people left displaced by the current Middle East crisis.
The appeal was launched by the Archbishop of Armagh Robin Eames and the Archbishop of Dublin John Neill.
Both archbishops have already earmarked an emergency allocation of £20,000 for the Bishops’ Appeal and are seeking contributions towards the emergency relief fund from Church of Ireland parishes.
The launch of the appeal follows a statement released previously on the current Middle East crisis in which the Church of Ireland’s House of Bishops described the ongoing “tragic situation” between Israel and Lebanon as a “challenge to all of us”.
