In a joint statement the heads of three major churches in Syria said they
condemn and denounce the brutal aggression
called on the United Nations' Security Council to
play its natural role in bringing peace rather than contribute to escalation of wars
and urged churches in the UK, US and France to
fulfill their Christian duties
condemn this aggression and to call their governments to commit to the protection of international peace
In a tweet and on Facebook the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, sent a prayer for peace in Syria but did not comment on the rights or wrongs of the airstrikes.
