Peacehaven Mosque & Manchester Synagogue Attacks

Last week an arson attack was made on the Peace Community Centre and Mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. A terror attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester occurred only days before.

Both attacks are deeply concerning, for Heaton Park and Peacehaven, for Muslim and Jewish communities across the country, and for our nation. As a community within the district, we particularly pray for Peacehaven and for its local religious and community leaders as they serve and lead at this time.

As a district we echo the statements from Churches Together England, speaking out against these hate crimes.
