« Why have you forgotten us? »
We have to put up with this question as Western society and as a Church. We hear very little from Syria and even less from our church partners. It is important to unite in prayer with our sisters and brothers in that country. However, concrete actions of solidarity are also necessary. They need to know that we have not forgotten them. The recent visit of HEKS program officer Rev. Tabea Stalder to Syria, documented in her travel report, was such an example of solidarity.
