Archbishop Issues Public Apology For Missed Meeting

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, publicly expressed regret and offered an apology following his initial refusal to meet with Reverend Munther Isaac during the latter’s visit to the United Kingdom.

Welby’s decision to decline the meeting came after Rev. Isaac participated in a pro-Palestinian rally alongside Jeremy Corbyn, a move that drew attention due to Isaac’s outspoken criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Rev. Isaac, serving as the pastor of the Christmas Evangelical Lutheran church in Bethlehem, gained widespread recognition for a viral image depicting a Nativity scene with baby Jesus amidst rubble, symbolizing the challenges faced by Palestinians.

At the rally organized by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign in London, attended by thousands advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, Rev. Isaac was among the speakers. He further emphasized his call for peace during a prayer vigil outside the House of Commons.

Acknowledging the misstep in his decision, Archbishop Welby issued a statement expressing remorse for not meeting with Rev. Isaac and the resulting distress it caused. He recognized the importance of standing in solidarity with Palestinian Christians during times of suffering, especially considering the ongoing conflicts in the region.

Welby affirmed his commitment to reconciliation by scheduling a meeting with Rev. Isaac for the following week, aiming to engage in dialogue and prayer together.

Rev. Isaac welcomed Archbishop Welby’s apology, expressing gratitude and anticipation for their upcoming meeting as fellow believers in Christ. He emphasized the significance of unity and understanding in addressing the challenges faced by Palestinian Christians and promoting peace in the Holy Land.
