Message from Manel Fonseka
Join us to light a candle and say a prayer for the success of the Sumud Flotilla as they set sail to break the siege on Gaza.
Starting on August 31st, 150 ships will set sail with crew from more than 40 counties, in the biggest global effort to break Israel’s 18year siege of Gaza. As famine spreads in Gaza and Israel continues with complete impunity to murder, rape and starve the population of 2 million people living there, the people of the world are banding together to step up where international law has failed.
Join us this Sunday, 31st of August, at 4.30pm under the Nuga tree at the Chapel of Christ the Living Saviour on Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 07, to light a candle and say a prayer for the success of the fleet, the safety of its crew, and the salvation of the people of Gaza from Israel’s unrelenting genocid

A NOTE from Michael Roberts, 30 August 2025
Manel Fonseka is the daughter of an English lady who married an administrator at Peradeniya University and lived at a house on the main road near the hall at which I resided in the time when Revd Lakshman Wickremasinghe made his presence felt in our crircles on the campus. Manel teamed up with the lae Senake Bandaranayake in UK at a later date; and it was to our benefit that the two chose to settle in Colombo.
It is to every Lankans benefit that Manel remains a public advocate in ways that will please Bishop Lak as well as Senake.
