Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, MCC sent this message to the U.S. government. Please join our prayerful call for peace in Syria.
We urgently call on all governments and parties to the conflict to end the violence in Syria. We condemn in the strongest terms all form...s of violence and war, including missile strikes, use of chemical weapons, targeted acts of violence against civilians, conventional warfare and suicide bombings.
Further militarization of the conflict will only increase the suffering of the Syrian people and the shattering of Syrian society.
We call on all nations to immediately end shipments of military equipment and arms to the Syrian government and to rebel groups, and to increase contributions of food and other humanitarian assistance to civilians in all areas of Syria and to Syrian refugees who have fled to neighboring countries, and their host communities.
We call on the international community, and Syrians from all sides, to negotiate with urgency and seriousness an inclusive political solution to the crisis, guaranteeing the rights of all Syrians.
In the name of Christ, we pray and work for peace in Syria.
