Support for Lord Carey
An Open Letter from AFI to the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey:
Dear Lord Carey
I was appalled to read in the Sunday Times of the attacks on you by several members of our Church at the weekend.
Our friends and supporters within both the Anglican and Jewish communities share your sadness at these unfair criticisms and we pray that all those who may be
seeking to divide the Anglican Communion will have their hearts and eyes opened to righteousness by the Lord.
We are deeply appreciative of your friendship towards Israel and the Jewish people at a time when many of our Jewish brothers and sisters feel increasingly isolated and threatened.
We at AFI - who also find ourselves vilified and traduced - suspect that it is your refusal to join the orgy of Israel-bashing within our Church which is the true motivation for this attack and we pray that truth will prevail in our Church.
With blessings from all at Anglicans for Israel.
Yours sincerely,
Simon McIlwaine
