In December 2023, South African Christians organized an international solidarity delegation to Palestine/Israel, shortly before South Africa charged Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice.

The delegation met with Palestinian Christian colleagues and human rights leaders across Palestine/Israel, as well as Jordan and Egypt, and attended the headline-making Christmas service at the Lutheran church in Bethlehem.

They experienced the current realities in the region, from deserted Bethlehem and armed settlers in the old city of Jerusalem, to families of Israeli hostages in Tel Aviv. Unrest was palpable everywhere as a result of Israel's current war on Gaza.

Join us to hear stories of faith and courage and firsthand observations of conditions on the ground in Palestine today, as well as updates on South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

UMKR and MFSA invite you to a briefing and conversation among prophetic Methodist leaders with considerable experience in this region, two of whom traveled with the Christmas season delegation:

Bishop IVAN ABRAHAMS of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and the General Secretary of the World Methodist Council

DAVID WILDMAN, Executive Secretary for Human Rights & Racial Justice with the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM)

Moderated by: Rev. Dr. SUSAN HENRY CROWE, recently retired General Secretary of the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society (GBCS).
