Dr Nora Amath at the Gathering to Pray for Gaza vigil in Brisbane

Dr Nora Amath, a Muslim, mother, grandmother and Director of Islamic Relief Australia (a UNICEF partner) reads James 3.17-18 on behalf of Mama Saba Abraham (President of The Eritrean Australian Women’s and Families Support Network Inc and member of the Eritrean Orthodox community) at the third “Praying for Gaza” Brisbane inter-faith vigil: “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace”
