Victorian Council of Churches: Statement on the Ceasefire Deal

Victorian Council of Churches LogoThe Victorian Council of Churches has issued a statement on the Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal. Previously, the Victorian Council of Churches has told, inter alia, “In the land sacred to the three great Abrahamic religions, the ongoing cycle of violence and revenge must be broken, or the children of today’s children will still suffer in the same way.

Light in the Darkness ~ Time Out for a Suffering World

The Faith Communities Council of Victoria and the Victorian Council of Churches invite you to:

Light in the Darkness ~ Time Out for a Suffering World

Date: Monday 31 August 2020 Time: 7pm
Location: In your home

On the eve of Spring, an invitation from the faith communities of Victoria to be a light in the darkness.

As the last light of the last day of winter fades, stand in your front garden and spend some time in silence, perhaps light a candle, to remember all those who have lost their lives to the Coronavirus or to violence. Then, as the first night of spring begins, look to the future with prayer and hope. Let us move from the cold and the dark into warmth and light together.
