Joint statement on Syria from Archbishop Justin and Archbishop Vincent

25.04.2013 Joint statement from the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster, Justin Welby and Vincent Nichols, concerning the ongoing violence in Syria Since the very first days of the Syrian conflict in March 2011, we have prayed as we watched in horror and sorrow the escalating violence that has rent this country apart. We have grieved with all Syrians – with the families of each and every human life lost and with all communities whose neighbourhoods and livelihoods have suffered from escalating and pervasive violence. And today, our prayers also go with the ancient communities of our Christian brothers and sisters in Syria.
