Join us to hear from one of the most profound and Important Christian Palestinian voices of the moment, Rev. Munther Isaac, Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, Palestine and Academic Dean of Bethlehem Bible College.
In a presentation entitled Silence is Complicity: A Palestinian Call to Action, Rev. Isaac will address the silence of US voices and churches in the face of mass civilian casualties and the destruction of the Palestinian homeland.
During the genocide in Gaza, Munther gained global attention for his sermon, Christ under the Rubble which was heard by tens of millions of people and subsequently quoted in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
This FREE presentation is sponsored by Friends of Sabeel North America and made possible with the cooperation of Northfielders for Justice in Palestine/Israel and hosted by the First UCC of Northfield. Sabeel Jerusalem is an ecumenical liberation theology movement founded by Palestinian Christians in the Holy Land.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Jenny Hartley at jdhartley1@aol.com.
