Evangelical Alliance welcomes the ceasefire

15 August 2006

The Evangelical Alliance welcomes the ceasefire in the Middle East.

This is the time for peace-makers and peace-keepers to re-double their efforts to maintain a just and lasting peace in the region.

Now that the ceasefire has been agreed, reconstruction will undoubtedly be costly. We welcome Hilary Benn's announcement of a further £6 million in aid to help with the reconstruction process.

The General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, Joel Edwards, commented: 'Although tensions in the region have eased, Christians should continue to pray for peace. We commend the Archbishop of York's initiative in fasting and praying for peace, and encourage other Christians to commit themselves to pray for the Middle East'.
