Wider Church Ministries and Justice and Witness Ministries of the United Church of Christ are pleased to share the 2009-2010 Public Policy Briefing Book in hopes that it will be a useful instrument for individuals or congregations to engage in the justice and peace movement.  Inside the briefing book you will find tips for congregational advocacy, in-depth coverage of the U.S. financial crisis and the Iraq War, and issue-by-issue coverage of domestic and international concerns likely to be acted on during this two-year session of Congress.

The Middle East is among the many areas of the world the Briefing Book addresses.  In particular, Iraq (Section II, page 30) and Israel-Palestine (section III, page 56) are included.
