the city of Jerusalem

On Sunday, May 17th, Rev. Juanita will be talking about the Conference she attended in Vancouver last month called: Seeking the Peace of Jerusalem. Overcoming Christian Zionism in the quest for justice.

This was the mission statement those attending the conference agreed to: We aim to empower the many people – Christians, Muslims, Jews and others – who are committed to peace, justice and reconciliation through non-violence in Palestine and Israel, with alternatives to Christian Zionism. We are called to proclaim justice and mercy while questioning Christian Zionism, often pervasive in faith traditions and the highest levels of political leadership. We endeavour to give voice to Palestinian Christianity, all voiceless Palestinians, and others silenced in the face of the violent and illegal Israeli occupation.
