Chaplain’s Office Statement on War in the Middle East
(posted October 8, 2023)
The pain and suffering that has been unleashed through the horrific attacks on innocent persons by Hamas has shocked the consciences of the peace-loving persons everywhere. The violence that has affected so many in Israel has touched many in our community. The Chaplain’s Office stands at the ready to offer support to those affected by the violence. We remember in these moments that terrorism cannot be justified, that the religion of Islam is not to blame for the actions of Hamas, that anti-Semitic acts and attitudes have no place in our community or in the community of nations, that non-militant Palestinians have been killed and uprooted, and that with the escalation of violence there will be more suffering and more bloodshed for more people in the days ahead. We join all who condemn the attacks by Hamas and call for the return of hostages to their families, and we grieve with those who have lost loved ones. As an office in this community committed to dialogue and to free and open discourse, we reaffirm our commitment to peace and respectful dialogue as a mode of engagement. Our hope is that those stricken by grief and traumatized by the violence inflicted on Israel might find comfort in their faith and from those friends, colleagues and neighbors who work to build here a community of care.
