Seeking Peace, Speaking Truth: Presbyterian Advocacy for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land
The war in Gaza and the ongoing crisis in Palestine and Israel have brought immense suffering, deepened polarization, and stirred up urgent questions for people of faith. How do we respond to violence and injustice while honoring the dignity of all people? What does it mean to be a peacemaker in a time of war? And how can Presbyterians engage in faithful, effective advocacy that upholds human rights and the hope of peace?
This session of the Presbyterian Advocacy Hour will explore these questions through stories, reflection, and action.
Hear directly from:
Muna Nassar - a Palestinian Christian leader bringing the voices of our partners on the ground and sharing their hopes for working in solidarity with U.S. Christians to end this devastating war.
Peter Beinart – a leading Jewish political commentator, journalist, and professor reflecting on the current crisis and helping us distinguish between antisemitism and legitimate critique of Israeli policies.
Noushin Framke – a Presbyterian elder and leader in the Palestine Justice Network lifting up the church’s historic commitment to peace and justice in the region.
Together, we’ll ground ourselves in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s long-standing witness and learn from seasoned activists working to build a just and lasting peace in the Holy Land.
This hour will be a time of listening, learning, and lifting up faithful strategies to raise our voices on this urgent issue. You’ll come away with practical advocacy tools, stories of courage and resilience, and an invitation to take action in real time.
Come, listen deeply. Learn faithfully. Act boldly.
