Jerusalem authorities against desecration of Christian churches
04-01-2010
Jerusalem authorities spoke against recent desecration of Christian churches, reports Interfax-Religion.
"We urge all, who are in power to do it, to put an end to this shameful practice by way of explanation and start clearing away the evil and then it will be peace in our camp," representative of the Jerusalem Mayor's Office said in their statement summing up results of a session with representatives of Christian and Jewish communities.
As the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem reported in its website citing the statement, inscriptions "Death to Christians!" appeared on walls of Christian churches (including the Mission's Trinity Cathedral) on December 11.
"Believers of other religions have recently complained of oppressions and insults from irresponsible youth in various parts of the city," the statement further said.
The city officials believe that such actions contain "grave sin of insulting God's name."
"Besides, our forefathers banned provocations against non-Jews as such provocations can lead the whole society to a catastrophe," the document further reads.
