A candle burning for peace in the Holy Land

The Friends of the Holy Land is organised through Groups within Parishes in the Anglican and Catholic Dioceses in England and Wales. Each Group has a small Committee which manages a monthly meeting of “friends” to pursue the objectives of the FHL, including fundraising events which are supported by the wider body of parishioners. These Parish Groups may be ecumenical in character, or not, as appropriate to that Group, Parish or group of parishes.

Here is a selection of Friends of the Holy Land Parish/Deanery Groups that are either fully established or in the course of being developed:

Abingdon
Baddesley Clinton
Banbury
Bexley Heath

A National Management Committee meets regularly and reports to the Trustees. It ensures that there is accountability for all funds raised and distributed in the Holy Land by the FHL and its Holy land partners.

For information to help you to set up an FHL Group in your parish, you will find a Helpful Hints download in the right hand column.

If you would like to know how you can help the Christians in the Holy Land by developing the FHL in your area, contact the office. Above all tell your friends and family about the Friends of the Holy Land. Please remember those in the Holy land in your private prayers and encourage communal prayer in your parish.
