A Palestinian Christian’s voice on the conflict in his homeland.
 
 
On March 27, 2025, Religion and Public Life’s Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative at Harvard Divinity School hosted Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac for a lecture based on his recently published book Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and the Genocide in Gaza. Isaac challenged what he characterizes as the prevailing theological, political, and ethical narratives surrounding the ongoing destruction of Gaza and the broader conditions of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation. The discussion was moderated by Hillary Rantisi, Associate Director of the Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative.

United Church of Christ Palestine Israel Network

 

Who We Are
At a Glance: Events at UCC’s 2005 General Synod convinced a few activists of the need for a grass-roots organization to promote justice for Palestinians and to support Global Ministries partners in Palestine and Israel. This concern led to the founding of the UCC Palestine/Israel Network in 2012. The effort was supported by staff from UCC’s Wider Church Ministries as well as Justice and Witness Ministries.

 

What We Do
At a Glance: Our work is aligned with our mission statement. We initiate resolutions of witness for consideration by various settings of the UCC; support implementation of adopted resolutions; develop educational materials for use throughout the UCC; publicly state, support and endorse pro-justice positions; and cooperate with allied groups working toward a just peace and recognition of Palestinian human rights.
