| CALL FOR ALL IN THE RELIGIONS FOR PEACE FAMILY TO PRAY —EACH ACCORDING TO HIS OR HER TRADITION— FOR OUR CAPTURED HONORARY PRESIDENT, HIS COMPANION BISHOP AND ALL SYRIANS ![]() Photo: (L) Metropolitan Ibrahim, (R) Metropolitan Yazji Esteemed Colleague in Religions for Peace: Greetings in Peace. Allow me to call you as one linked with the Religions for Peace family to pray urgently—in accord with your own tradition—for Religions for Peace Honorary President Metropolitan Mor Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim. Yesterday, Metropolitan Ibrahim was kidnapped along with his brother Bishop, Metropolitan Boulos Yazji. Their driver, a deacon, was shot dead. The whereabouts of the two Bishops are currently unknown. Please pray for the safe return of both Bishops in your own way. The suffering in Syria is unbearably great and the situation there extremely grave. Already brave Syrian religious leaders across diverse traditions are working together to ensure that the violent conflict does not give rise to violence among Syria's diverse religious communities. Please pray in your own way for all the Syrian people. Multi-religious cooperation will be a vital key for a peaceful Syria. Religions for Peace is engaged with Syrian religious leaders as they take steps to build Religions for Peace-Syria. With gratitude and in solidarity, I remain Yours in partnership, ![]() Dr. William F. Vendley Secretary General |

The next time a lying liberal tells you about how Obama has placed the "toughest sanctions ever" on Iran, ask them 1) has it slowed Iran's nuclear program, and 2) what about sanctions against the Taliban (and give them a link to this article)? Spotty & ineffective.
