CampaigningJeremy Corbyn MP has tabled an early day motion stating that:"this House is concerned that Israeli Knesset member Haneen Zoubi has had a number of her parliamentary privileges withdrawn because she participated in the Freedom Flotilla which attempted to take aid to Gaza in May 2010; believes that the siege of Gaza is wrong; and applauds Haneen Zoubi for her courage in exposing this."Can also be read here: http://bit.ly/9Vut3g Please contact your MP and ask them to sign the EDM before the summer recess break (begins: July 27th)! |

News and viewsNew Malden URC put on a concert to share their musical gifts. The evening was a great success financially but also raised awareness of the issues faced by many of our partner countries. Congratulations all round. Event Co-ordinator Diane Howell said, "So we did four things: gave some people, especially the children, the chance to perform, had a very good evening, raised some money AND possibly most importantly, are now inspired and motivated in our support of what Commitment for Life does. People have already been talking about next year's one! It's been a great pleasure and privilege to have organised this event". |
Commitment for Life encourages all United Reformed and Local Ecumenical Partnership churches to take action, pray and give for people across the world. It works with both Christian Aid and The World Development Movement. Last year we raised over £550,000 to help alleviate the root causes of poverty. 75% goes to Christian Aid to be divided equally among the four partner countries, 10% to the World Development Movement and 15% for administration, resources and grant giving. It is the recommended way for all United Reformed Churches to give to Christian Aid.
