The Palestine Israel Ecumenical Network in Australia and Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre in Jerusalem will host a joint ecumenical service – ‘Hosanna in the Highest’ – via Zoom on Saturday, 27th March, at 5:30pm (Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney time) and 8.30am (Jerusalem time). As we mark the beginning of Passion Week, clergy and lay people from both countries will offer prayers, praise, readings and reflections proclaiming the liberation and presence of God even as they acknowledge the situation in the Holy Land today. Australian participants include Bianca Manning of Common Grace, Anglican Bishop of Tasmania Richard Condie, Rob Floyd, associate general secretary of the Uniting Church in Australia Assembly, Rev Katherine Rainger, of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra-Goulburn, Andrew Menzies, senior pastor at Mitcham Baptist Church, and musicians and singers from Brunswick Uniting Church music group. From Palestine the event will be joined by a number of Palestinian Christians from many denominations. The service will feature a Gospel reading from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
