The London branch of the
Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius is having its Autumn Meeting on Thursday
27th October 2016, at 7.30 pm at St James’s Church, Sussex Gardens
(Paddington) W2, near Lancaster Gate tube station. At this event there will be
Eucharist (at 6.30 pm) followed by light refreshments and a talk, entitled: ‘Between
Monsters, observations from the civil war in Syria 1st to 7th
September 2016.’ This will be an illustrated talk by Jo Simister, of Living
Stones of the Holy Land Trust.
The observers were a group of
seven who had been invited by the Armenian Archbishop of Damascus, the Chaldean
Catholic Bishop of Aleppo, the President of the Armenian Evangelical Church in
Syria and the Grand Mufti of Syria. The group went to Syria to listen, learn
and meet as many people as possible; to express their commitment to
impartiality and solidarity with those who are suffering regardless of faith,
culture or politics; to hear from religious and political leaders and
internally displaced people; and to visit different religious communities and
experience their placed of worship.[1]
