The last few years have been devastating for the Palestinian people. They desperately need the world’s attention, even in the midst of a global pandemic. We must attend what is happening in the Holy Land, if we believe God calls us to be peacemakers and to pursue “justice, only justice,” This webinar is a perfect opportunity to do that, hearing from two superb and highly knowledgeable speakers. Learn what is happening now in Israel/Palestine, from the founding leader of Kairos Palestine and the best informed staff person in the United Methodist Church. Find out:
• What has the United Methodist Church said and done regarding Israel/Palestine?
• What is the situation today for the Christians of Palestine?
• Why has Kairos Palestine issued a urgent new call this year, the “Cry for Hope,” endorsed by several UMC bishops and thousands of Christian leaders around the world?
• What are the decisive actions they are calling for in 2020?
• How can we and our church respond effectively?
