Bishop Younan and the ELCJHL are deeply saddened by the great loss of our brother in Christ, Bishop John Schreiber of the ELCA’s Southeast Michigan Synod, our partner synod. We considered him a wise prophet who spoke out on behalf of peace with justice in Palestine/Israel. He understood our realities on the ground here and was a cherished friend who worked with us in a common mission. May God Bless his life and ministry, and grant comfort and support to his family, friends and colleagues.
