The APJN expressed its deep concern about the Middle East peace process and about the freezing of that process by the present policy of the Israeli government, formulated because of forthcoming national elections in May.

The APJN expresses its solidarity with the Palestinian people in their search for self-determination, and an independent state that can coexist in peace with the state of Israel. It also urges that Jerusalem be a shared city for the three faiths and their peoples, and open to everyone.

We call upon the ACC to write both parties, urging them to continue their efforts to strengthen the peace process so that both parties may enjoy equal rights and live together in dignity and harmony as children of God, embracing the position of the Lambeth resolution.
