- Share via

Negotiate! Trust in the promise of peace!” said a resolution approved by about 1,000 delegates at the end of a two-week conference in Canberra, Australia. It also called for Iraq’s unconditional withdrawal from Kuwait. Anglicans abstained, saying a cease-fire should wait until Iraq pulls out.
