Archbishop urges Holy Land trust

The Archbishop of Canterbury will urge the world not to look away from the problems in the Holy Land as he delivers his Christmas Day sermon.

Dr Rowan Williams will say it was "chilling" to find on his recent visit to the region an "almost total absence" of any belief in a political solution.

What is needed to create trust and hope is ordinary people reaching out to the region, he is to argue.

Both Israeli and Palestinian communities feared a future in which they were allowed to disappear "while the world looks elsewhere", Dr Williams will say.

"Go and see, go and listen, let them know, Israelis and Palestinians alike, that they will be heard and not forgotten," Dr Williams will say.

"Both communities in their different ways dread - with good reason - a future in which they will be allowed to disappear while the world looks elsewhere.

"The beginning of some confidence in the possibility of a future is the assurance that there are enough people in the world committed to not looking away and pretending it isn't happening.

"It may not sound like a great deal, but it is open to all of us to do - and without friendship, it isn't possible to ask of both communities the hard questions that have to be asked, the questions about the killing of the innocent and the brutal rejection of each other's dignity and liberty."

In the sermon, to be delivered at the Christmas Day service at Canterbury Cathedral, he will also speak of how he was inspired by a hospital director in Bethlehem who told him: "The poorest deserve the best."

It came on a visit to a creche attached to the town's Holy Family Hospital, while he cradled a new-born child in his arms, and he asked hospital director Robert Tabash why the standard of care was so good despite the harsh economic situation.

Nice to be made aware of current news stories, although most people will no doubt be able to find their own favorite source, while some prefer not to be reminded of all the depressing things happening in the world. If you want news as it happens, I recommend: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsChann ... =worldNews Many newspapers get their stories from them anyway. In US and Australia respectively, the New York Times and The Australian are trusted sources: http://www.nytimes.com/ http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/ From UK you can get serious and stimulating stuff from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/ Or if you prefer headlines like "Barbara Windsor's toyboy is a love rat" The Sun will never disappoint: http://www.thesun.co.uk/

Thanks for reminding! "The poorest deserve the best." If so, the title should be considered change or transform from "Environmental & Political" to "Peaceful Environment & Politics". "Kind thoughts - may you be peacefully!" {L_QUOTE}: The past is gone. The future is unpredictable. All we have is NOW. Make great use of it. ~ still thoughts

To help aid world peace, I'm posting the lyrics to "The Frog Song" by Sir Paul MacBollox Win or lose, sink or swim One thing is certain, we'll never give in Side by side, hand in hand We all stand together Play the game, fight the fight But what's the point on a beautiful night Arm in arm, hand in hand We all stand together La la la la la la la la Keeping us warm in the night La la la la la la la la la la la Walk in the light You'll get it right La la la la la la la la Keeping us warm in the night La la la la la la la la la la la Walk in the light You'll get it right Win or lose, sink or swim One thing is certain, we'll never give in Side by side, hand in hand We all stand together
