One of the significant contributions the Anglican Church makes as a global body is in the provision of healthcare. The Church of England is supporting the Diocese of Jerusalem\u2019s request to launch a financial appeal to support the work of the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza. More information is here: https://j-diocese.org/wordpress/2023/10/24/joint-gaza-appeal-letter-from-the-most-revds-hosam-naoum-and-justin-welby-the-anglican-archbishop-in-jerusalem-and-the-archbishop-of-canterbury/<\/a><\/p> Bishops in the House of Lords have committed to continuing to raise issues with His Majesty\u2019s Government around the treatment of the Christian community in Israel, Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.<\/p> The Archbishop of Canterbury paid a pastoral visit to the Diocese of Jerusalem on the 19th<\/sup> of October where he met with Christian and Jewish leaders in both Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. He also met with families affected by the attacks on the 7th<\/sup> October.
