The first "Bethlehem Carol Sheet" from 1956! Still going strong at @FollowEmbrace today and ready to be ordered here (slightly different design).
Embrace recently began funding an emergency employment project in Bethlehem, among many other good causes shop.embraceme.org/bethlehem…
I had the privilege to spend a couple of hours with @FollowEmbrace friend and partner Anton Asfar, Director of @CaritasJLM , and Fr Elias Tabban, of Zababdeh Parish in the West Bank, last week while they were in London.
You can listen to their podcast with our friends at the @catholicEW here:

We discussed hope as the Caritas Jerusalem team distributed 10,000 cartons of milk to families in Gaza earlier in the week, the resilience and service of the Christian community in the northern West Bank, and the many challenges to come.
On a day of more cautious optimism than we’ve witnessed for a while in Gaza, this news is a reminder that the wider situation for Palestinians remains unchanged. A real and lasting peace will also need to address inequalities and occupation in the West Bank.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine.
Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.
A start… this now needs to be sustained and expanded.
We give thanks that food aid is starting to trickle into Gaza. But this trickle needs to become a sustained torrent to have any hope of alleviating the disastrous consequences of months of starvation.

“Reconciliation with God. Reconciliation with the land. And reconciliation with each other. This is the vision we work for together.”

Bishops call on UK government to take action over West Bank settler violence | Anglicanism | The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2025/j…
Powerful stories, glimpses of more ordinary people caught up in this horror.
'The scale of what is happening in Gaza is hard to process, but at its heart is the travesty of small intimacies destroyed, moments of friendship, reconciliation, inspiration, enjoyed over coffee.'
The Al Baqa Cafe, #Gaza was more than just a place to get a coffee. People went there for inspiration too. For artists, athletes, everyone it was an incubator of normality and creativity in war. Then it was hit by an Israeli missile.

How are Palestinians, incl Palestinian Christians, coping w/ an Israeli occupation that stifles every ounce of their human rights? They face it by showing courage to be a light in the darkness > by @ruthvalerio of @FollowEmbrace via @Christianitymag : premierchristianity.com/opin…

From 1500 Christian families in Gaza before the war, now only 350-400 left. The devotion of these wonderful Christian people humbles us, even as they deal with almost immeasurable grief. May they know the Easter gift deep in their hearts. And may this savage, wicked violence end.
Aid in and hostages out. Neither should ever be used as bargaining chips.
Gen Lord Richard Dannatt, has called on the government to boost its defence spending above the 2.5% GDP target, and calls Starmer’s cut to aid budget a ‘strategic mistake’. We can make an increase, but not like this… #aidcuts theguardian.com/politics/202…
