You Tube Theology

We just launched our Virtual Immersion featuring the voices of Palestinian and Israeli peacemakers who are embedded in this horror.

Today’s conversation was with Palestinian pastor, scholar, and peacemaker Munther Isaac, one of the most profound voices in global Christianity.

We explored his personal experience of what is unfolding, the importance of language in how we speak truth to power and change to society, the role of US American evangelical theology in perpetuating violence, and very practical steps each of us can and must take to end this violence.

He concluded by inviting us to follow the Jesus who broke agreements with reputation, platform, power, and comfort in order to usher in restoration.

May God give us the courage to abandon any construction of Jesus that endorses the use of any violence to accumulate and protect our comfort, our safety, our abundance, our agenda.

We urge you to share this conversation widely and then join us as we continue in our Virtual Immersion on Tuesday, Oct. 31, with Jersusalem-based Jewish historian, theologian, and peacemaker Jared Goldfarb.
