Prayers for Peace at the MissionJoin us at St. John’s to Pray for Peace

What does it mean to pray for peace in a time of war?

To suffer the loss of humanity in each of us; to repent for our part in the violence; to be in the ‘Peace’ where there is none, for the sake of all.

Join our Prayer for Peace (Moleben), Wednesdays at the Mission, November 22–December 20, 2023, 7:45–8:15 p.m.

St John the Compassionate Mission has been reaching out to friends in Israel and Gaza.

Our hearts and prayers are with the people at St Porphyrius Church in Gaza and our friends of the House of Grace in Haifa.

We want to find ways with them to show our support and care at this time.

 

Archbishop Elpidophoros of AmericaIn times of strife

“Our Church stands against violence, and even in the case of self-defense, we see it as the wrong answer to a wrong problem. Those who live by the sword eventually die by the sword. We pray for the peace of the world at every Service, but we see peace giving way to aggression and war at seemingly every turn, especially in the land where our Savior walked.”

— Archbishop Elpidophoros of America
