Today I rejoice with Layan Nasir who has been released from incarceration in an Israeli prison. I have prayed for her daily and had a candle burning in my chapel which can now be extinguished. I wish her every blessing in the future.

Nearly 3 years ago Bishop @Guli_FD called for prescription of #IRGC as a terrorist organisation by the UK government, noting: “religious minorities & peaceful protesters report violent treatment during arrest & detention” by IRGC.

Time to act @FCDOGovUK

The growth of the #Persian-speaking #Church in spite of suffering was the focus of @BBCRadio4’s ‘#SundayWorship’ programme yesterday.

🔗 https://t.co/oCq34dIqIk

The programme was broadcast from a Persian-speaking #Anglican church in the northwest of England, St Aphrahat's, under the title: “#Farsi #Christians – hope in the midst of trial”.

The service was led by the church’s senior minister, Iranian-born Christian convert Omid Moludy, & the sermon was delivered by British-#Iranian bishop @Guli_FD, whose father once led the Anglican Church in #Iran & whose family fled the country following the assassination of her brother.

News of the Gaza ceasefire deal is tempered somewhat by news that Layan Nasir has once more been imprisoned. I have again lit a candle and will be praying for her and all who are detained unjustly https://t.co/3mUS7S3lUF
