“The uncertainty that the families have experienced since 8th March has been terrible, now the announcement that all lives were lost in the Southern Indian Ocean is sad and devastating for the families of all on flight MH 370. Hopefully this news will allow people to grieve.” said Reverend Tara Curlewis, general secretary of the National Council of Churches in Australia

Our condolences have been sent to the people of Malaysia and China through the churches and their networks.

Curlewis concluded “Along with other faith communities the churches continue to pray that the mystery will be solved and families will have closure. Many congregations and especially the Chinese Methodist Church have been touch by this tragedy and offer support to those who are grieving in Australia.”
