MY wife and I are shocked and saddened by the desecration of Jewish graves in Hereford cemetery (Hereford Times, October 8).

As members of the Christian community in Hereford, we extend our sympathy to the Jewish community. We pray for comfort and peace to be found in Psalm 20 verse 1: “May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.”
