Everyone should hear and reflect on the superb interview that the journalist Heidi
Schlumpf maintained with Bishop John Stowe. It has to be the most balanced and sophisticated discussion so far on the war in Gaza. Schlumpf is fearless and Stowe is honest, making for the high quality interview that it is. Thank you both.
