The Good Friday Offering, often collected during Good Friday liturgies, was first gathered in 1922 by The Episcopal Church to support Anglican ministries in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East that were impacted by the devastation of World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, and social and political unrest affecting Armenian Christians, among others in that region.

Over a century later, the Good Friday Offering supports ministry in a wide variety of places, including al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which has continued to provide essential health care services in the midst of war; St. George’s Anglican Episcopal Church in Baghdad, Iraq, and its medical center; an eye clinic at Christ Church in Yemen; All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Damascus, Syria; and All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Beirut, Lebanon.

“It is easy to feel powerless in the face of the human suffering we have witnessed in the Holy Land, but with a gift to the Good Friday Offering, we can help The Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East turn despair into hope for thousands of God’s people across their region,” Bishop Rowe writes.

Through the years many Episcopalians have found the Good Friday Offering to be an effective way to express their support for the ministries of the three dioceses of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. One of these dioceses is the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf.

In the video below, Archdeacon Paul Feheley, Partnership Officer for the Middle East interviews the Rt Rev. Sean Semple, sixth bishop of Cyprus and the Gulf.

Letter from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe on bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza:

Dear People of God in The Episcopal Church:

Early this Palm Sunday morning, we received confirmation that al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, was hit last night by Israeli missiles. The diocese and many media outlets report that the emergency department, the pharmacy, the chapel, and other essential facilities have been severely damaged, and patients are without shelter or medical care. Read more about the attack from the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

No matter how we understand the causes of violence in the Holy Land, we can surely agree that we must support our fellow Anglicans in alleviating the devastating humanitarian crisis now unfolding in Gaza.

As we begin our Holy Week journey, I ask you to:

* Pray for the staff of al-Ahli Hospital, giving thanks for their courage and sacrifice, and for its patients, who are in pain and danger without lifesaving care. The American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem offer this prayer and litany that I commend to you.

* Join me in giving generously to the Good Friday Offering, which supports the ministries of the Diocese of Jerusalem, including al-Ahli Hospital. For more than a century, Episcopalians have supported ministry in the land of Jesus with an offering on Good Friday; and especially now, the need is greater than ever.

* Write to your members of Congress, asking them to support a permanent ceasefire; a just, sustained peace in the Holy Land; and humanitarian aid for those suffering in Gaza. Find information about The Episcopal Church’s response to the crisis and resources from the Office of Government Relations on our website.

During these sacred days, as you encounter the suffering and sacrifice of our Redeemer and come again to the joy of the Resurrection, please pray for all of the people of the land where Jesus lived, died, and rose again. May God grant them a future free of violence and suffering.

Faithfully,

The Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe
Presiding Bishop
The Episcopal Church
