Today was Church Commissioners Questions in the House of Commons, when we have a chance to ask questions regarding the Church of England here in Parliament.
The Christian town of Taybeh is the same town as Ephraim in the Gospel of John, where Jesus went before his passion.
Sadly, this town is now entering a new passion.
On 26 June there was a violent attack by extremist Israeli settlers. A continuing pattern of crops being destroyed and outposts being set up. This is happening all over the West Bank.
This is outrageous racial cleansing, deliberately designed to prevent a two-state solution and to drive people out who've just tended their crops for 2,000 years.
I asked whether the Church of England will call out this outrage every day of the week in an attempt to put on some sort of pressure on the Israeli government.
