Abu Marzouk, making a visit to the Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza, on Monday, said that all Palestinians, including Muslims and Christians, are in the target square of the Israeli occupation, noting the unacceptabilty of exclusion to anyone based on religious belief, according to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency.
Bishop Alexius said, in turn, that all prophets and apostles, over time, emphasized the oneness of the message and respect for all religions, stressing that: “We as Palestinians are on this land to live in co-existence.”
Furthermore, Al Ray reports that Alexius has said the church will support the forthcoming Palestinian concensus government, in order to achieve unity and meet the interests of the people.
At the end of his visit, Bishop Alexius accompanied Abu Marzouk in a tour around the church, and spoke of its place in a rich history going back 2,000 years.
Hamas Leader: Palestinian Muslims, Christians United
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
