As violence continues in Syria and the reported use of chemical weapons on civilians causes us much anguish, we call on our members to engage in prayer, witness, and action on behalf of the Syrian people.
The General Secretary of the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon, a longtime church partner of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), sent a letter to the PC(USA) yesterday, expressing appreciation for PC(USA)’s “prophetic stand against all kinds of violence in Syria and your condemnation of the use of chemical attacks no matter who was the user.”
