” “”Let’s go and say to the Christians of the Holy Land that they have not been forgotten, that they are still our extremely important brothers and sisters. Perhaps the most important gesture is just get up and go”. This is the opinion of mgr. Peter Fleetwood, representative of Ccee in the delegation of the European and American bishops awaited on January 11th in the Holy Land. Speaking to SIR Europa about the Church’s contribution to the increasingly exhausting peace process in the region, mgr. Fleetwood insists on the need to "think more and more creatively to get out of the spiral of violence. Christians must act peacefully and avoid revenges”. “What is missing, especially for the youth he warns , is hope; Christians have always worked for the wellbeing of everyone, not just for that of their fellows. Some wonder whether educating the young to a future in a jobless country makes any sense, but we have to think of their dignity and not leave them to desperation. This means Christians working in European or international agencies or in our national governments have to take action". On its part, the universal Church is not sparing its proactive commitment through exchange plans, solidarity projects, meetings.” “
