West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 5 December 2008

This was no sacrilege

• WELL done on this imaginative carol concert to highlight what is going on Bethlehem and in the Occupied Territories.
It is not sacrilegious, as is being made out, but in fact a truly Christian (and Jewish) thing to do. In fact these carols were sung five years ago in Trafalgar Square before a packed and appreciative mixed crowd who were all eager to get the song sheets.
Lamentably, many Anglican and other church leaders do not seem to see the significance of what is happening in the Holy Land, and should be supporting not condemning those who expose Israel’s breaches of human rights, the terrible suffering of the Palestinian people, and the threat to the survival of the Christian community in Palestine who have left in droves over the past decades.
