Condemnation of Attack at Istanbul Airport

I hope all are doing well. I simply wanted to share an article from the WCC with relevance to the attack at Istanbul airport.

"The World Council of Churches' (WCC) general secretary, Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, has condemned as an “odious crime” the lethal attack by gunmen at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport (oikoumene.org)...."

"...“We pray for the victims and their families,” said Tveit, “and we hope and pray there can be a redoubling of efforts to bring peace to the region to end the conflicts which are fueling such odious criminal acts (oikoumene.org)...."


The full article is at the link below.
