Amman, Oct. 25 (Petra) – The Bishop Coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, Bishop Hosam Naoum, has condemned the terrorist attack that targeted the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George in Hamoud town in Karak Governorate.

In a statement Sunday, Bishop Naoum stated the attack constitutes a violation of the worship sanctity, the sacredness of human life, and the human dignity bestowed by God upon every individual.

He said the attack on peaceful worshippers is an assault on the societ's security and unity, as well as on the fraternity and coexistence values that characterize Jordan.

He also affirmed this crime won't undermine unity of the Jordanian people, nor the cohesion of their national fabric, nor sow fear or division among the citizens of the same nation.

He noted that Christians and Muslims in Jordan are partners in the land, history, and citizenship, bound together by ties of brotherhood and mutual respect.
