You Tube Theology

Featuring Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, Rev. Rudi Swanepoel, Rev. Edwin Arrison, and Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, the opening session examines the political and theological power of competing narratives around violence, victimhood, and oppression in South Africa and Palestine. As claims of a so-called “white genocide” in South Africa continue to circulate globally despite widespread criticism from scholars and human rights advocates, Palestinians and international observers have increasingly raised urgent alarms about the realities of mass displacement, collective punishment, and genocide in Gaza. Grounded in the lived experiences of South African and Palestinian leaders, the session invites participants to wrestle with questions of justice, solidarity, and the ethical use– and misuse– of the language of genocide.
