Statement by the Archdeacon of Belfast on Attacks on Graves at the Jewish Plot at Belfast City Cemetery
Statement by the Archdeacon of Belfast, The Ven. George Davison:
‘The recent vandalism and destruction of graves at the Jewish plot at Belfast City Cemetery is both appalling and disgraceful and I join with others in condemning such an anti–social, racist and sacrilegious act.
‘I also extend my sincere sympathies to those in the Jewish community in Belfast who feel the effects of this heartless attack on this significant and historic site most at this time.’
(Archdeacon Davison is the Bishop of Connor’s Commissary – the Bishop of Connor is away)
