Learn from PalestInian Christians
Palestinian Christians have followed Jesus in the Holy Land for nearly two thousand years. Their experience of faith — shaped by the land, the history, and the present reality of life and devastation in Palestine — carries profound and urgent insight for the American Church.
Church at the Crossroads exists as a gathering hosted by Palestinian Christians for believers who hope to grapple with what faithful Gospel witness requires at this defining moment in history.
For many of us in the United States, inherited interpretations of the Bible have shaped how we answer questions of justice and faithfulness — too often making it easier for us to excuse injustice than to confront it, easier to identify with the powerful than with the vulnerable. Meanwhile, many of us have retreated into silence in the face of the ongoing war in Gaza — a silence that has itself become a form of complicity, and one that has deeply harmed global Christian witness and our sisters and brothers in Palestine.
Standing at this historic crossroads, we must ask ourselves: Has our Christian faith been reduced to a tool for violence and injustice? Have we exchanged the gospel of peace and reconciliation for the illusions of comfort and security? And as the Church, we must choose: Will we bow to the political idols of our day, or will we seek to follow Jesus, the one who is ever-challenging our understandings of power and love, and who made peace through his blood?
For Christians carrying genuine theological dissonance about these questions, Church at the Crossroads offers a space for learning, honest reckoning, and fellowship. Rooted in Biblical faith and guided by Palestinian Christian leaders alongside pastors and peacemakers from across North America, the conference calls believers into the urgent work of renewal, peacemaking, and courageous discipleship, as we challenge harmful theologies and cultivate the theological clarity, moral courage, and hope the Church needs for this moment.
On a global scale, Gospel witness is at stake. Jesus is calling the Church — not to comfort, but to faithfulness.
