Bethlehem Then and Now Advent Meditations
“Bethlehem Then and Now” - a series of six short meditations which connects the biblical Christmas stories with the contemporary situation in Palestine, including Israel's war on Gaza.
The Palestine and Israel Network (PIN) is a volunteer association of working groups and individuals who seek to promote a just peace in the Holy Land. Our mandate is the Resolution on Palestine and Israel that was passed at the Mennonite Church Canada 2016 Assembly, in response to the call of Palestinian Christians. Connect with a working group in your regional church here.
Each month we send out a newsletter that includes an action call, a few brief updates, and links related to peace and justice in and prayer for Palestine and Israel. Subscribe to the monthly newsletter below.
You are invited to support the ministry of Bethlehem Bible College. Bethlehem Bible College exists to train people to serve Christ in the world, advocate a Palestinian Christian perspective, and model Christ through community development. Mennonite Church Canada International Witness partners with BBC to walk with Palestinian Christians and to learn and grow together. Support for their ministry will enable their presence to serve the local and other Arabic speaking congregations in the region.
