"2005 marks the Anglican Peace and Justice Network's 20th anniversary and its meeting in Jerusalem in September 2004 brings it full circle to its first meeting which also took place in the City of Peace in 1985. Invited by the Right Reverend Riah Hanna Abu El-Assal, APJN convened 23 Provinces of the Anglican Communion under the leadership of Dr. Jenny Te Paa of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia ... (p. 7)". "APJN was both nurtured and shaken during its visit, the former by the warmth of the people of the diocese (virtually all of them Palestinian), and the latter by the conditions of Occupation under which most Palestinians live (p. 7)". "We recognize that the Israeli people have endured attacks and suicide bombings causing great suffering, loss and agony, and that the fear of further suicide bombings continues. We also recognize and lament the historical context of the experience of persecution and genocide by the Jewish people. However, the extent to which the Israeli government has gone in annexing Palestinian land and pushing the Palestinians into cantons and denying this people both dignity and self-determination is unjustifiable. If Israel continues with its actions in the name of security (as is often argued) then their hope for life without fear is diminished as the Palestinian people will continue in their struggle for nationhood (p. 9)".

"Archbishop Samuel Ndayisenga recently celebrated 25 years of ministry as a Bishop". "Reuters news agency also recently reported the attempted abduction of the Bishop of Bujumbura, in Burundi, by the Hutu Forces for National Liberation (FNL). The agency said that the Rt. Rev. Pie Ntukamazina had been stopped by the FNL, along with other Church officials, while travelling in a three-vehicle convoy. The officials were forced into nearby countryside, robbed of their possessions and held captive. A counter-attack by government forces on the rebels' hideout allowed the churchmen to flee and they hid in nearby scrubland until morning, when they returned to the capital, Bujumbura".

In October 1993 there was an attempted coup in Burundi. President Melchior Ndadaye, who had only come to power after elections in the summer was killed together with several ministers in a putsch led by a small group of Tutsi Army Paratroopers. The coup failed but it caused widespread devastation and death. The death toll is estimated as being between 100,000 and 150,000 (church sources) and 200,000 (according to government). An estimated 800,000 people have fled the country and have become refugees in Rwanda, Zaire and Tanzania. In December 1993 the Rt. Rev. Pie Ntukamazina of the Diocese of Bujumbura in Burundi visited Lambeth Palace and met the Archbishop of Canterbury. He spoke with Jim Rosenthal at the Anglican Communion Office about the present situation in Burundi.
