Cyprus and the Gulf issue statement on Iraq

The Synod of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf met last week and
unanimously affirmed the following statement about Iraq:

The Synod of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf, representing the Anglican
Churches within the region, can find no theological or humanitarian
justification for the proposed invasion of Iraq. We strongly disagree that
is the solution to the present stance of the Iraqi regime or for the
suffering of the Iraqi people. The Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf encourages
people of all faiths within the region to work together for lasting peace
and justice for Iraq.
