A Prophetic Witness to the West: Calling the Church to Re-Imagine Peace in Palestine-Israel, with Saleem Anfous

In a world marked by horrific violence, rising authoritarianism, and toxic polarization driving people apart, many Christians want to be people of justice and reconciliation. Yet in the West, the church and its theology are too often known for supporting violence, not healing it. What lessons and challenges must the church in the West face if it is to truly be a source of liberation and worship in solidarity with those on the margins?

Join Saleem Anfous, a Peace Catalyst justice advocate and producer of the Across the Divide Podcast, and Peter Digitale Anderson, Executive Director of Peace Catalyst, for a conversation about Across the Divide's work of introducing the church in America to Palestinian Christian theologies of justice and peace.

This event is part of our monthly Taste of Peace series, where we offer introductory-level conversations about all things peacebuilding and explore something new every month. We hope you’ll join us for other upcoming Taste of Peace events!
