APARTHEID WALL ART
 “Our word is a cry of hope, with love, prayer and faith in God. We address it first of all to ourselves and then to all the churches and Christians in the world, asking them to stand against injustice and apartheid, urging them to work for a just peace.”

APARTHEID WALL ART ICON CLOSEUP

In this historic document, we Palestinian Christians declare that the military occupation of our land is a sin against God and humanity, and that any theology that legitimizes the occupation is far from Christian teachings because true Christian theology is a theology of love and solidarity with the oppressed, a call to justice and equality among peoples.

It's a worrying and uncertain time right now for people across the globe, including in occupied #Palestine. Parts of the #WestBank remain on lock-down and already stretched #healthcare services face even greater challenges. We express our continued solidarity with all of those in the region.

With the complete lock-down on the city of #Bethlehem, we hear that the usual #Friday prayers at the separation barrier went ahead online tonight instead. In these very difficult circumstances, work for #peace and #justice can and will continue. Let us keep our creativity and inspiration.

We encourage you to keep following our social media in the coming weeks for more on how you can stay up to date and keep working for justice in these challenging times.
