Quotes

Archbishop Hindo said: "At the moment, even here the scourge of kidnapping is what causes major suffering for many families. In recent months between Hassaké and Kamishly there have been more than one hundred kidnappings. At one point I myself stopped keeping count. Many of the hostages are still in the hands of the kidnappers."
...In this sense, I encourage the financial experts and the political leaders of your countries to consider the words of Saint John Chrysostom: "Not to share one’s goods with the poor is to rob them and to deprive them of life. It is not our goods that we possess, but theirs" .”
He said: "We need you. Your enthusiasm is not only infectious but it helps us overcome the arguments of those who say we shouldn't spend money on aid for the world's most needy. We're working a lot cross-party to make the world a better place. This is the year when we hit 0.7%, and from now we will continue to hit 0.7%, and we’re going to make sure we target it so that those in most need are helped.”"
"We make our own the sentiments of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Fouad Twal that 'the expropriation of lands does not serve the cause of peace and justice and does not strengthen the position of the moderates.'"
