Amazonsynoden: Livstilsændring i vesten nødvendig#
Saving Amazon rainforest requires change in Western lifestyles, say synod bishops#

Saving the Amazon rainforest requires action by Western nations, a Surinamese bishop attending the Catholic Church's synod on the Amazon region said, charging that the people of the Amazon cannot do it by themselves. "Even if we implement all the measures against deforestation or against the polluting of the rivers," explained Bishop Karel Martinus Choennie of Paramaribo, Suriname's capital, "it would still not have an effect if (people in) the Western world — Europe, America, Japan and China — don't change their lifestyles."#

Earlier this month, the pastor of a Kurdish Christian church in northeastern Syria gathered his congregation to decide whether to leave or stay as Turkish forces pressed into the region after U.S. troops had suddenly withdrawn. In an area threatened for years by both the Syrian civil war and the international fight against the Islamic State group, the church was now in the path of a new offensive against the Kurdish militias that Turkey had branded as terrorists.#

Churches should make sure that believers and the church itself are not pushed back into privacy behind church walls and away from the public space, said Urmas Viilma, The Lutheran World Federation's (LWF) Vice-President for Central Eastern Europe and Archbishop of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church which hosted the 2019 Church Leadership Consultation for Central and Eastern Europe. „A church leadership conference for Central and Eastern Europe is especially important because the churches don't have many possibilities to come together," says LWF Area Secretary for Europe, Rev. Dr Ireneusz Lukas. The region might appear to be relatively homogeneous at first sight but the situation in each of the churches and countries differs considerably, he added. #

"They [Christians] are Sudanese, and their religion is heavenly with its values and beliefs," Mufreh told Asharq Al-Awsat, saying that Christians have such a presence in Sudan that they should not be described as a minority. Sudanese Christians hope the comments mark a sea change from the Islamist campaign of Bashir, ousted by the army on April 11 after widespread protests began in December 2018. #

Det lutherske Verdensforbunds hospital Augusta Victoria i økonomisk klemme#
Public statement from the Board of Augusta Victoria Hospital#
29-10-2019#
https://www.lutheranworld.org/news/augusta-victoria-hospital-board-calls-immediate-solution-critical-financial-situation? #
The board of the Augusta Victoria Hospital has met in Jerusalem to discuss the crisis situation that has arisen due to the non-payment of patient fees by the Palestinian Authority, to the amount of 45 million euros. This puts the hospital in an unsustainable position. The hospital is no longer able to purchase medicines or equipment which is needed to treat patients, and puts these children, women and men and their right to health services at risk. The Augusta Victoria Hospital has provided medical services to the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza for more than 70 years, with a specialization in cancer treatment. AVH operates under the highest quality standards and certified by the international accreditation body Joint Commission International (JCI). #
