A statement following further bombing of the Anglican-run Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza today.

Standing with Archbishop Hosam and our Palestinian Anglican sisters and brothers, I condemn yet another callous, reckless attack on the Anglican-run Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza.

Despite our repeated requests, the Israeli Government has been unable to prove its claims that Al-Ahli Hospital has been used by Hamas.

Instead this is part of a relentless and outrageous pattern of attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities in Gaza. There is no justification for this under international humanitarian law.

These bombings must stop. As the Church of England bishops said recently, this war of aggression must cease. Renewing that call, I join with our Anglican sisters and brothers in Palestine and Israel in crying out for justice, mercy and peace.

Stephen Cottrell
Archbishop of York

An Island of Strangers is a great phrase to use because it brings to mind a handy bit of local #Norwich history. One of the museums you are most likely to be dragged around on a rainy afternoon here is a place called Strangers' Hall. www.strangershall.norfolk.gov.uk/article/3045...

The first 'strangers' were Dutch, Walloon and Flemish refugee weavers who fled the low countries in the 16th century as a result of the persecution of Dutch Calvinists by their Spanish (Catholic) rulers.

Under Elizabeth I, England was a Protestant country and so welcomed the refugees. The asylum seekers first settled in Sandwich, Kent, in 1565. However Thomas Sotherton was keen to encourage these skilled workers to settle in Norwich because their skills in textile weaving made the immigrants of immense economic value. Documents show that some may have lodged at Strangers' Hall and much of the prosperity of Norfolk after this period can be traced to this influx of refugees.

I hope Pope Leo gets into his stride quickly. There is an impending starvation disaster in Gaza and someone needs to shame the world’s leaders into making Israel lift the siege so that food can get in. Anything other than food aid right now will be too late. We look to you @popeleoxiv.bsky.social
