The Archbishop of Canterbury has promised to give Palestinians the "freedom they deserve" on a landmark visit to the West Bank.
Dame Sarah Mullally delivered a sermon on Sunday at St Peter's Church in Birzeit, becoming the first holder of the office to visit the town.
She told the congregation: "I will not forget what I have seen and what I have heard. I could not forget it. I will carry these encounters with me as I return home.
"I will use my role as Archbishop to seek the peace you desire and the freedom you deserve." The 64-year-old began her five-day pilgrimage across the Holy Land on Saturday.
There, she said: "I am aware that I have certain freedoms that many of you do not enjoy, being able to cross borders and checkpoints, spending time in neighbouring communities, and going to Jerusalem.
"I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to join you in prayer and fellowship."
