A stabbing attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue earlier today

The Free Churches Group mourns the tragic attack at a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day in the Jewish year and strongly condemns all acts of violence.

Our hearts and prayers are with those who have been injured, their families, and all who are grieving the loss of loved ones. We give thanks for the courage and dedication of the emergency services in responding so swiftly.

At this difficult time, we pray for healing, for compassion to guide our actions, and for communities across the UK to stand together in understanding, peace, and love.
