From Inspire-The Christian charity Us (formerly USPG) has launched two appeals to encourage Anglicans and other churchgoers in Britain and Ireland to reach out to Syrian refugees and families in crisis in Egypt.
The Us Egypt Appeal is raising money to support the work of the Anglican Church in Egypt, which is feeding and supporting vulnerable families caught in the middle of political unrest.
The Us Syria Appeal is being run in collaboration with Embrace the Middle East and will support an ecumenical network of churches reaching out Syria’s two million refugees with food and other essential items.
The Revd Canon Edgar Ruddock, Us Director of Global Networking, said: "While we have a responsibility to wrestle with the very deep issues of history, culture, religion and politics that are the reality of the Middle East today, we have an even stronger moral commitment to stand alongside all who are displaced, and all who are powerless in the face of terrible suffering and hurt.
