Concern not naïveté

July 17, 2025

I am writing to express my surprise and dismay at the content and tone of the article by Anna Farrow concerning the letter which 30 religious congregations of Sisters sent to the Prime Minister. The link to Ms. Farrow's article is next to the news reporting the tank attack on Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in Gaza, which has resulted in several deaths, and many injuries. These Religious Sisters are not naive. They are deeply concerned by the ongoing war resulting in so many deaths and so much violent destruction. I hope that the Prime Minister is listening. And that all world leaders take whatever steps may lead to an end to this senseless war.
