Each year as part of the opening Eucharist at the General Synod, the Scottish Episcopal Church makes a donation to a charitable organisation. \u00a0This year, recognising the dire situation in the Holy Land, the offering will be given to ‘Friends of the Holy Land’, a non-political Christian Charity whose mission is to secure a resilient and enduring Christian community in the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and Jordan.<\/p>\n

On their website they indicate that: “the focus of our work is providing practical help directly to the most needy and vulnerable of our Christian brothers and sisters through a balance of funding immediate relief of emergency needs and practical small projects to help create a sustainable future in the Holy Land \u2013 most importantly to give them hope. We have a team of locally based lay and clerical professionals who identify and verify our cases.”<\/p>\n

Donations can be made during the Synod Eucharist or online via our Stewardship link here.<\/a><\/p>\n
