That the Parliament recognises the movement from the global church to call Christians to fast and pray on Ash Wednesday, 2 March 2022, as an act of spiritual support for the church and people of Ukraine, a country where the majority of the population is Christian; understands that Pope Francis has encouraged Christians to "dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting [to] preserve the world from the madness of war", and that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York of the Church of England are supporting Pope Francis's call for a global day of prayer and fasting for peace on Ash Wednesday, placing "trust in Jesus Christ, the author of peace" in whom Easter is celebrated; further understands that Ash Wednesday stands as a day for fasting, prayer and repentance, echoing the sackcloth and ashes worn by the Jewish people in the Old Testament, who prayed the Psalm "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress", as many Ukrainians will be praying today, and of Jesus's own 40 days of prayer and fasting in the wilderness; understands that Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, and that many people do not have the financial resources to flee their homes; recognises the efforts of the church across Ukraine and, notably, Hillsong Church Kiev, where, it understands, the congregation are providing food and support to their fellow Ukrainians, including those who are fleeing and remaining in Kiev, and to orphans in Lviv, and further recognises the commitments of Hillsong and other networks of churches in surrounding countries that are offering refuge and shelter to those who have crossed the border.
