WCC’s Palestine-Israel Ecumenical Forum launches website and newsletter

by Global Ministries | published on Oct 10, 2014

The Palestine-Israel Ecumenical Forum, convened by the World Council of Churches, has launched a new website geared to providing a springboard for advocacy, public education, and mobilization. The forum’s role consists in convening networks for common action in order to generate church-based awareness raising and advocacy for peace in the Middle East. The website will provide support for actions with partner churches and ecumenical organizations focussing on the following areas:

1. challenging government support for the occupation
2. challenging public support for the occupation
3. challenging theological and biblical justifications for the occupation and
4. maintaining a viable Palestinian Christian presence in the Holy Land.

A regular newsletter will provide up-to-date information on Christian campaigns for a just peace and an overview of the latest news from an ecumenical perspective.
