On July 28, 2025, the Moderator of the General Assembly signed a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada expressing deepening grief and frustration and urging the Government of Canada to act decisively to end the abhorrent suffering and violence in Gaza. The letter was also signed by KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, Development and Peace: Caritas Canada, The Anglican Church of Canada, Canadian Friends of Sabeel, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Mennonite Church Canada Palestine-Israel Network and The United Church of Canada. While the churches welcome the Prime Minister’s words and intentions, it is noted that there has been no meaningful action. The letter repeated the churches’ request for an urgent meeting to discuss the immediate, concrete steps our government must take to uphold human rights and international law.
