Challenging Christian Zionism - Episode 1
2024-04-18 12:00 - 13:00
The 216th General Assembly (2004) approved the “active opposition” by the Presbyterian Church (USA), “to Christian Zionism and the development of a plan to communicate the theological and political ramifications it engenders within our denomination, in the mass media, and among U.S. government officials.” 20 years later, in 2024, our Palestinian partners are calling us to challenge a theology that reinforces and supports occupation, annexation and apartheid. This first webinar in a new series on the topic will introduce the theology that contributes to the violence Palestinians experience on a daily basis and explore its connection to a settler colonial project that is having devastating consequences on the Palestinian people, including the Christian communities that have lived on the land for two millennia. This webinar is moderated by Cynthia Holder Rich and will feature panelists Munther Isaac, Marietta Macy and Brant Rosen.
