How We Work
The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

On Wednesday, together with many others, I stood and shared in the reading of the names of 18,432 children killed since 7 October 2023. The names included all killed – in Gaza, Israel and the West Bank. After each name there was a pause and their age was read. It was heart-breaking; some under the age of 1 and others older teenagers, and so many in between.

All individuals, both Israelis and Palestinians, must be able to live in full equality, justice, and peace in Palestine/Israel.
