Bearing Witness: The UCC in Palestine and Washington, DC
Stones Cry Out Delegation
The United Church of Christ showed up and turned out for the Stones Cry Out Delegation. Four UCC’ers traveled on the delegation to Palestine, along with 19 other church leaders and activists representing 12 Christian denominations. Delegates met with Jewish, Christian, and Muslim peacemakers, human rights activists, and practitioners of non-violence in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Hebron. Then three more UCC members joined them on their return to Washington, DC, there to advocate, bear witness, and provide legislators first-hand accounts of what delegates had heard and learned.
Interested in hearing their first-hand accounts? Join the March 21 webinar, hosted by Indiana Center for Middle East Peace, co-sponsored by UCC Palestine-Israel Network. ICMEP’s Dr. Michael Spath, leader of the Stones Cry Out Delegation, will moderate a conversation with four of the UCC participants: Rev. Diane Dulin (UCC-PIN, FOSNA), Sarah Klockowski (Ministry Associate), Stephanie Gilstrom (Rachel Corrie Foundation), & Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals (UCC-PIN).
