Today marks the anniversary of the #yazidigenocide. On August 3, 2014, ISIS launched a brutal campaign of violence against the Yazidi community in Sinjar, Iraq—massacring thousands, abducting women and children, and committing unimaginable atrocities.
Never Again. #yazidi
Today, we celebrate the women who have tirelessly fought for justice, equality, and dignity—not just for themselves, but 4 all.
Women have stood in the gap, speaking truth and bringing light to dark places.

Merry Orthodox Christmas and Joyous feast of the Blessed Nativity from our family to yours! Celebrating the blessed birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
President Carter told me he signed the 1979 Camp David Accords because his mother had taught him about Isaiah 19 when he was a child.
May God comfort his family and may his legacy of faith, service and peace live on. ✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸
A decade passed since the Yazidi genocide, marking an arduous journey for the survivors. Witnessing Ekhlas’ relentless advocacy for them has been an honor. Today, I celebrate her graduation & her remarkable achievements as a beacon of hope and a model of resilience 4 humanity.
Have been following the conversation around the Paris Olympics #OpeningCeremony. The content depicting the apparent parody of the Last Supper is inappropriate, grossly offensive and sacrilegious, and entirely unacceptable.
At a moment in time that presented an opportunity for unifying people, and bringing joy and healing to a world increasingly torn apart by conflict, war, religious persecution, and division on many levels, more unnecessary offence, hurt and distraction has been caused.
I will be sharing my thoughts in greater depth in the coming days, but to everyone who is justifiably offended, saddened and concerned that such a beautiful moment in history, and one that is core to the Christian Faith, was so misrepresented, I assure you that you are not alone.
Blessings from our family to yours as we celebrate the feast of the glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. “Christ is not here; He has risen!” — Luke 24:6-7. ##orthodoxeaster#coptic
"Yesterday I was crucified with Him, today I am glorified with Him; yesterday I died with Him; today I am alive with Him; yesterday I was buried with Him, today I rise with Him…[In recognition,] let us offer ourselves, the possession most precious to God, and most fitting. Let us give back to the Image what is made after the Image. Let us recognise our dignity; let us honour our Archetype; let us know the power of the mystery, and for what Christ died [and rose]” #GregoryTheTheologian
Nothing could possibly be added to this.
A blessed Feast of the Glorious #Resurrection to you all!

“Women are the backbone of our families, pillars are strength for our communities and the fabric that shapes societies and therefore nations”
Such a compelling call to arms from Jacqueline Isaac at #CSW68@UNWomenUK
Discussing new initiatives to prevent sexual violence in conflict and support survivors with Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon @tariqahmadbt at the #UnitedNations#CSW68 . Thankful for his dedication to support survivors. @end_svc@FCDOGovUK
A wonderful opportunity to catch up with another remarkable advocate following #InternationalWomensDay in @JacqueIsaac. Looking forward to building on the foundation of our work on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict (#PSVI) over the past years.
Merry Christmas everyone! Christ the Savior is born. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born,to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
