Bishop Sarah responds to Heaton Park Synagogue attack

Following the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue yesterday, The Acting Bishop of Durham, The Right Reverend Sarah Clark said: “We are horrified by this attack on what was the sacred day of Yom Kippur, and we assure the Jewish community of our prayers for those affected in Manchester, especially the victims and their families. Within our diocese, we have a large Jewish community, particularly in Gateshead, and if we can provide support in anyway both during this distressing time and in the days ahead we will. We all stand together against hate and violence in all its forms and pray for peace and unity across all our communities.”
