SUMMARY:People on the Move
DESCRIPTION:The number of people forcibly displaced from their homes and communities is at an all-time high\, now over 100 million people worldwide\, and continues to grow. Due to violence and conflict\, natural disasters\, climate change and other social\, political\, and economic factors\, people have been uprooted and are seeking safety and security elsewhere. Our partners in the Middle East and Europe are directly involved in assisting people who have left their homes\, responding to their needs and providing assistance and care. In this webinar\, we will hear from partners which are directly involved and from people who have been impacted\, to hear their experiences and stories. Following up from a regional consultation held in Rome this January\, please join us to hear from colleagues at the Forum for Development\, Culture\, and Dialogue (Lebanon and Syria)\, the Afghan Association for Women\, and Mediterranean Hope (Italy) to learn about their work and current realities. \nSponsored by: the Federation of Protestant Churches in Italy (FCEI)\, the Presbyterian Church (USA)\, the Reformed Church in America\, and Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ.

SUMMARY:Gaza Today: Perspectives from Palestinian Christian Partners
DESCRIPTION:As Israel’s war on Gaza continues\, more than 34\,000 Palestinians have been killed in the past seven months\, many more are injured\, and thousands are unaccounted for. Most of the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza are suffering starvation\, desperate for medical care\, and are displaced from their homes and communities which have been targeted and destroyed. \nOur Palestinian partners remind us that the history of crisis in Gaza did not begin on Oct. 7\, 2023. It is a history that goes much deeper. \nJoin us in this webinar to hear from partners who are deeply involved in serving the community in Gaza and speaking with clarity on what is required. Nader Abu Amsha is the Executive Secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches’ Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees. DSPR has been present in Gaza for three-quarters of a century and continues to serve its community in Gaza despite the many challenges. The Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac is pastor of the Christian Lutheran Church in Bethlehem and Dean of the Bethlehem Bible College. He has spoken to the world\, challenging mainstream framing of the war\, and urging Christians to engage authentically. They will share a perspective not generally heard.
