You can also print the bulletin directly from the link to bring with you, if you prefer!

WEBS is back from their summer
break with a new book!

Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and Genocide in Gaza" by Munther IsaacA cry from the heart and a call to action from a Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian.

In this impassioned and incisive book, Munther Isaac challenges mainstream Christians' uncritical embrace of the modern State of Israel. Speaking from his unique vantage point as a prominent Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian, he proclaims a truth that is rarely acknowledged in Christian circles: Israel's campaign to eliminate the Palestinian people did not begin after October 7, 2023. Rather, the campaign is a continuation of a colonial project with nineteenth-century roots that has, since 1948, established systems of entrenched discrimination and segregation worse than South Africa's apartheid regime.

Writing from Bethlehem with close-up knowledge of conditions on the ground, and rooted in a commitment to nonviolence and just peace, Isaac urges readers to recognize that support for Zionism's genocidal project entails a failure to bring a properly Christian theological criticism to bear upon colonialism, racism, and empire. He calls on Christians to repent of their complicity in the destruction of the Palestinian people. And he challenges them to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ-who can be found not among perpetrators of violence, but with victims buried under the rubble of war.
