Trinity Social Justice Committee News
The Social Justice Committee has recently become aware of a document written in 2009 from the perspective of Palestinian Christians living in the Holy Land. Although the apostle Paul urges Christians around the world to support the Christian Church in Jerusalem and in the land of Jesus’ birth, the document and its call to solidarity and action were largely ignored at the time it was written. This document is again coming to light as the Palestinians have again faced assault, hunger, and genocide in the Israel/Hamas war of the past two years. Each week the Social Justice Committee plans to include some excerpts from this document to raise awareness in the Trinity Community, increase our compassion for the Palestinian people, and help mobilize us for action to heed Paul’s words in the Bible and help our brothers and sisters in need.
The purpose of the Kairos document is this: “As Palestinian Christians we hope that this document will provide the turning point to focus the efforts of all peace-loving peoples in the world, especially our Christian sisters and brothers. We hope also that it will be welcomed positively and will receive strong support. … We believe that liberation from occupation is in the interest of all peoples in the region because the problem is not just a political one, but one in which human beings are destroyed.” The document’s drafters describe it as “the Christian Palestinians’ word to the world about what is happening in Palestine.
We had a egg-ceptionally fun Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday!
