 Kairos PalestineKairos Palestine - A Moment of Truth
On the first anniversary of the launching of Kairos Palestine - A Moment of Truth, the Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is pleased to announce the release of a 24-page booklet that includes the Kairos document and a three-week congregational study plan.
Kairos Palestine is the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" of our time. This Confession of Faith, written in 2009 by a broad spectrum of Palestinian Christian leaders, is addressed to Palestinians, Israelis, the international community--as well as all the churches of the world. It lifts up the classical theological virtues of faith, hope, and love that lie at the heart of the Christian Gospel, and affirms that resistance to injustice and oppression is firmly grounded in these principles.

At the same time, the NCC has been heartened by the outrage expressed by others in our nation toward Lowe's for giving in to the bigotry and ignorance that underlies this pressure. Through its Interfaith Relations… More
THE PROBLEM OF BLAMING PRESBYTERIANS (or anyone else for that matter) WHEN THE MORAL BLINDSPOT IS YOUR OWN
Jesus once said: “Take the log out of your own eye then you can remove the splinter in your neighbor’s.” By 1822 Presbyterian minister, the Rev. John Rankin, was known throughout his native Ohio to be a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad, helping slaves find freedom. Harriet Beecher Stowe once said of him: “Who abolished slavery? Reverend John Rankin and his sons did.” The late Rev. Dr. Neal Kuyper, Presbyterian minister, and founder and director of the Presbyterian… More Israel to Palestine: “You are Damned if You Do, and Damned if You Don’t” NEW YORK - Nov. 3, 2011 - The Israel Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA)* (IPMN) condemns the announcement by the Israeli government to accelerate expansion of settlement construction and financially sanction the Palestinian Authority as a response to the successful bid by its leadership to join UNESCO this week. The IPMN calls upon President Obama to take a clear, public stand against this decision because it threatens any hope that peace negotiations can occur between Israeli and Palestinian… More |
