Statement from Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr Philip Freier, concerning the recent tragedies in our region


From Melbourne-

The fragility of human life is evident again with the most recent tragedies in the Philippines, in Samoa and now in Indonesia. Natural forces beyond most of our imagining have killed many and destroyed livelihoods in each of these countries.

Our hearts go out to those who mourn the loss of family members and even whole communities. AngliCORD has commenced an Appeal for emergency assistance to rebuild the lives of people and I commend it to you for your support.

My condolences go out to all in Australia who are receiving the sad news of death or injury to loved ones at this time.

To support the AngliCORD Appeal please visit www.anglicord.org.au or phone 1800 249 880
