One of the highlights of this weeks' Victoria Presbytery meeting, for me, came during the time when the members of the court present their joys and concerns. It was at that point that someone stood and said that Rev. Jim Manley was being released and that he would be reuniting with his wife in Toronto later this week. He was on a ship attempting to bring school and medical supplies to people in Gaza.

Here is an United Church news release on the topic of his release:
