A moment of hope and courage
INTRODUCTION
Holistic Peace, Justice and Human Rights is our key focus- work projection for the next 4 years, Having cut our teeth in activism from informal formation in 2011 and since 2012 advocating and engaging on different issues, it has becomes necessary to focus from these lenses:
INERFAITH
Interfaith building has recently become an important aspect of Nigeria society, therefore for the projected period; Kairos Foundation of Nigeria shall improve on our programme: Interfaith Forum for Peace and Social Transformation. This University and College driven initiative has sought to create a platform of engagement and collaboration on Peace between Muslim and Christian students in Nigeria. We had already run two sessions with the University of Ibadan, (South West Geo-Political Zone) Muslim Students association and the University Joint Christian Movement. The implementation of issues from the communiqué and expansion of the initiative across Nigeria is a principal intention to be addressed. We are considering expansion to 5 other Federal Universities across the remaining 5 geo- Political Zones of Nigeria. The antecedent of Nigeria Young People as bridge builder and agents of Peace and Transformation as evident in continued result from the National Youth Service Corps is an encouragement.
PEACE & DEVELOPMENT
• Supporting the anti- corruption war in Nigeria: Building Corruption free Churches and Schools advocacy initiative is designed to empower voices of the poor and the downtrodden, using the platforms of churches, mosques and mission schools. The aim is to act decisively against political corruption in Nigeria, advocating against policies such as that which promotes double salary as being drawn by political officers must be stopped. Also we shall initiate a Basic Income campaign that will help the poor adjust to the current economic recession in Nigeria, as well as pressing our government to adopt a basic income strategy that support economic right of Nigerians, through mobilizing religious communities to demand from political parties to make basic income a campaign issue at the 2019 national elections.
• Annual leadership development lecture and Seminar on Palestine and Pilgrimage: Since the year 2012, we have been working diversely on just peace in Israel Palestine, during this period we have used the Kairos Palestine document to introduce Nigerian Christians to the occupation in Palestine, the quest for Justice in Israel Palestine and Through “Come and See” document, worked on Alternative Justice Pilgrimage from Nigeria to the “Holy Land”. During these period we have encountered challenges from the Pentecostal minded congregations and government policy that is near pro- Israel, the template of one sided Pilgrimage to Jerusalem which has been on ground for decades cannot be easily changed. Therefore through persistence, we were able to make inroads to churches and the Pilgrims commissions and boards across 12 states out of 36 states of Nigeria. Our contentious advocacy to stopping occupation of Palestine and building local economy, borne out the dimension to embark on Theological institutions Training ( Palestine and Pilgrimage curriculum development and Usage) to engaging seminary where Pastors are trained in educating them and thus utilize them on creating awareness in their congregation after graduation. We have recorded a success in this venture as we are now partnering with Immanuel College of Theology, Ibadan. (Anglican and Methodist owned). As a way of harmonizing these efforts and utilizing scarce resources, we have decided to start an annual leadership development lecture and seminar on Palestine and Pilgrimage in Nigeria. We hope to hold the maiden edition in 2017 to campaign raise awareness on 50 years of occupation of Palestine.
• Disarmament – continuous work on the arms trade treaty- checking proliferation of arms into Nigeria and West Africa, taking forward the campaign on Abolition of Nuclear Weapons, especially work will intensify on the campaign to support negotiation of a treaty banning Nuclear Weapons in 2017. It is hoped that Nigeria will translate to implementing the Arms Trade Treaty in the area of Transparency in procurement and continue to play a crucial role in seeing that other ECOWAS states ratify the Arms Trade Treaty and proceed to implementation. We shall work with our MFA to sustain Nigeria leadership in the campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
ECUMENISM
Kairos Foundation of Nigeria shall continue to build on existing relationship with ecumenical bodies such as the Christian Council of Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria, and the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria as well reaching out to other new platforms. This will enable us achieve our strategic campaigns and working together for maximum output. Theological development will also feature prominently in our ecumenical relations; we shall emphasize the need for an acceptable position from Nigeria Church on Israel Palestine, and create a platform for engaging the Muslims community in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION
As we evolve, we are grateful to the following partners and organization that has supported us since 2012. We promise to continue utilizing your financial and material support more effectively and judiciously. Thanks to The Karibu Foundation Norway; The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons; The Kairos Palestine; The Kairos Southern Africa, The Friends of Wadi Fouquin, Kairos USA, YMCA/YWCA of East Jerusalem, Alternative Tourism Group Palestine, The World Council of Churches; The Control Arms Coalition; The United Methodist Volunteer Service; The Christian Council of Nigeria; Members of Kairos Foundation of Nigeria.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>adi Foquin is a Palestinian village located in the Bethlehem District of the West Bank, Occupied<br />
Palestinian Territories. The village and its population of 1,200 live under Israeli military control.<br />
The village and villagers have been victims of human rights violations which impact daily life, and<br />
jeopardize their future survival.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span> Summary of Human Rights Violations in Wadi Foquin<br />
Land Confiscation and Displacement<br />
• Land has been illegally confiscated for the building of the settlement of Betar Illit;<br />
land confiscation orders have been issued for the proposed building of the<br />
separation wall; orders have been issued for farmers to vacate land due to takeover<br />
by the Israeli government. The settlement is illegal according to the 4th Geneva<br />
Convention. The separation wall has been ruled illegal by the International Court of<br />
Justice.<br />

Damaged Water Supply<br />
• Potable water supply is controlled by the Israeli government –the village receives a<br />
small percentage of water available to them; natural springs have been part of<br />
natural irrigation system for centuries but are now drying up due to limestone runoff<br />
from settlements which harden the soil.<br />
Food Supply and Farm Production<br />
• Agricultural produce which is the source of natural food supply and means of income<br />
has been damaged due to the runoff of raw sewage and construction debris from the<br />
settlement.<br />

Transportation Inequality & Freedom of Movement<br />
• Israel only bypass roads have been constructed for access to settlements but are<br />
prohibited for use by Palestinians. Road improvements within municipal boundaries<br />
of Wadi Foquin have been interrupted and/or prohibited by the Israeli military.<br />
• Flying checkpoints restrict access to jobs, educational institutions, and healthcare<br />
facilities.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We gathered in Johannesburg (near
Cottesloe) from 17 to 20 August 2015, to celebrate how the 1985 South African
Kairos document, “Challenge to the Church,” responded to a moment of truth in
the most painful days of Apartheid. That Kairos document inspired three decades
of Kairos movements in many different contexts. This celebration has now
re-inspired us toward a common humanity and a concern for human dignity and our
environment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The pain of Marikana and the reasons
behind it (multinational profit before people and corporate greed) hovered over
our conference.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The 2009 Kairos Palestine document,
“A Moment of Truth,” a cry from the Palestinian Christian community, carries a
disturbing echo of the dangerous memory of the South African story of
Apartheid. Kairos Palestine has evoked a powerful global response from Kairos
contexts around the world. The catalyzing power of Kairos Palestine was deeply
felt in our gathering. We were inspired by this renewed energy. Palestine is
the space where our sacred texts are contested.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There was much to celebrate in this
gathering. Our Kairos conversations were intentionally multi-generational and
broadly international. We were grateful to engage deeply with Muslim and Jewish
perspectives. We found much joy in our solidarity and shared struggles. We were
particularly encouraged by the inter-generational nature of this gathering and
how that can be nurtured and encouraged. We are particularly inspired by the
birth Zinzi Kairos Mbenenge during the conference. “… for unto us a child is
given”!</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A NEW KAIROS</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have reached a new moment of
truth, a new Kairos. We recognize how the coming of Jesus and his teaching
about a new kingdom and a new reign against the Roman empire of his day has
completely passed us by. We lament that, by and large, the church of today has
become distracted from this mission of preparing the way for God’s reign.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In our time, we find that various
sites of pain and struggle are joined in a Global Kairos, a shared quest for
justice. In our discussions, we named our shared struggle against the scourge
of this global empire of our times. Empire is an all-encompassing global
reality seeking to consolidate all forms of power while exploiting both
Creation and Humanity. The empire we face is not restricted by geography,
tribe, language or economy. Empire is an ideology of domination and
subjugation, fueled by violence, fed by fear and deception. It manifests itself
especially in racial, economic, cultural, patriarchal, sexual, and ecological
oppression. Empire deceptively informs dominant, white supremacist, capitalist
paradigms controlling global systems and structures. Global empire is sustained
by weapons and military bases (hardware) along with ideologies and theologies
(software).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We rejoice that resistance against
empire is manifested in a plurality of struggles throughout the world.
Struggles against ecological injustice, gender injustice and patriarchy,
landlessness, abuse of people on the move, refugee vulnerability, political and
religious persecution, social exclusion, denial of indigenous rights,
neglecting children’s rights, harm to LGBTI persons, access for the differently
abled, and racial supremacism represent only a portion of the struggles against
empire. Since 1985, Kairos documents have expressed resistance to these and
other realities in Central America, Europe, Malawi, India, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and
Palestine. In this conference, we were pleased to receive new Kairos documents
from siblings in Swaziland, Nigeria, and the United States. The memory of
unjust suffering in all contexts is dangerous to the purposes of empire.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In our listening to one another, we
found that the context of suffering and pain created by Israel’s oppression of
Palestine contains all aspects of empire. Palestine is therefore a microcosm of
global empire, a critical site of reflection that can bring experiences in
other locales into sharper focus. Palestine does not eclipse other situations
around the globe but instead intensifies the need for greater interconnection
and mutual engagement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">All Kairos movements emerge from
sites of grave injustice and deep pain. Every Kairos document is a cry to God
and to the world. We confess, however, that we have served two masters and
preached a gospel that requires nothing of the rich young ruler, even as we
build empire on the widow’s mite. We recognize that we and our church
institutions have often closed our ears to our siblings’ cries and drowned them
out. In many cases, very little action has followed. The church has often been
ambiguous and cautious in its response to human suffering. Sometimes, the
church has engaged in active opposition to the liberating work of God present
in communities of resistance, increasing church complicity in structures of
injustice. The church has often provided theologies of domination in the
service of Empire. In our discussions, we found that the South African Kairos
indictment of Church Theology is as relevant in our time as it was in 1985.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">RESISTING IMPERIAL THEOLOGY</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The dangerous memory of the South
African Kairos document provided a prophetic critique of State Theology,
theologies that validate and confirm forms of state terror. It identified as
heresy theologies that justify Apartheid. In our time, we are called to expand
this critique and rejection of state theology to address Imperial Theology, the
‘software’ that justifies imperial exploitation and oppression. We were
encouraged to find that, although Empire seeks to divide communities from one
another, peoples’ resistance can unite us across religious, ethnic and culture
divides.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Imperial theology is at work in the
continued oppression of Palestinians and the crisis now engulfing what is known
as the Middle East. Analysis and rejection of the State Theology supporting
Apartheid in South Africa was an essential element in exposing and resisting
that sinful system. In its dominant forms, Zionism has been used to justify the
dispossession, transfer, massacring, ghettoization and exploitation of the
Palestinian people. Zionism has become an element within the dominant
structures of empire. Politically, we call for an intensification of all
economic and political pressures on the State of Israel, including the
Palestinian civil society call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). In
our biblical interpretation, we strongly distinguish between biblical Israel
and the modern State of Israel. Theologically, we declare to be heresy any Christian
theologies that support the Zionism informing Israeli oppression.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nigeria
with its diversity of culture, over 250 ethnic groups and tribes is better
described a ‘Nation of many nations’. While some of us view this diversity as
an advantage from which the country can greatly benefit if our resources (human
and material) are carefully harnessed, selfish politicians have over the years
exploited the prevalent poverty, illiteracy and ignorance of many, to use our
diversity as a people, to foment strife, distrust among the various tribes, ginger
religious intolerance and perpetrate corrupt acts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
core of our national challenges as a nation is the growing religious extremism
been introduce by politicians and some religious leaders, the creation of gap
and disunity between the two major faiths ( Muslim/Christians) which for
example manifest at every time of selection of candidates for the highest
political office in Nigeria, as seen by the tension raised on speculation of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Muslim-Muslim ticket as it affected the main
opposition party All Progressive Congress (APC) was so disturbing that one can
clearly see the danger and fragile religious sentiments in Nigeria.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now,
as we project into the near future as a people, we must accept the fact that
the only geographical space we can easily lay claim to is Nigeria, therefore,
we as young people, Students and future (religious or political) leaders have
decided to chart the course of religious harmony and tolerance, to rescue what
remains of our inclusiveness as a Nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We draw strength from the location of our worship places at the
University of Ibadan where the central mosque and the Chapel stood side-by-side
and ever since we have not recorded any clashes. This points out to us that we
can worship and relate as a people in the larger society. </span></div>

Monday 21st July 2014 at Baptist Conference Room, Obanikoro Lagos, By Rev. Dr. Princess A.Y. Akitoye- Braimoh, Senior Special Assistant, Religion (Christian), To the Governor of Lagos StateYour Grace, Archbishop Kehinde Stephen,<br />
Conference Presidents,<br />
Archbishops and Bishops,<br />
Conference Chairmen,<br />
Deans & Proto Presbyters,<br />
Venerables, Overseers, Moderators, Canons, Presbyters and<br />
District Pastors<br />
<br />
Beloved Senior Ministers,<br />
<br />
We are gathered here to reflect on the plight of our Christian brothers and Sisters in the land of Palestine. We need to discuss, Pray and know the depth of PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN' challenges and possibly consider a faith-based JUSTICE PILGRIMAGE. Permit me to remind us that advocacy and education of this nature with the slogan "Apartheid is a crime against humanity" metamorphosized into freedom for South Africans. Each drop of water makes a difference in any experience of flood. We must keep educating our members that there are Christians in the land of Palestine whose cry must be heard.<br />
<br />
Today history is made and barriers are broken, the essence of universal Church without racial barrier and demarcation of national sovereignty is proclaimed that Palestinians are our brothers and sisters and their cry for justice must be echoed. A justice Pilgrimage is part of the ways to move forward.<br />
<br />
Let us rise from this seminar holding today in the conference room of Lagos East Baptist Conference to proclaim that our heavenly Father loves justice. King Solomom's conclusion is this," To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than Sacrifice". ( Provebs 21:3 KJV).<br />
<br />
Apart from justice and pilgrimage, I equally believe that this advocacy will propel interfaith dialogue and understanding between religions to the extent that, all mankind will have religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence. This is one of the hallmarks of the Lagos State Government under His Excellency Babatunde Fashola (SAN)<br />
<br />
Finally, I appreciate all your lordships and participants. May God bless your deliberations.<br />
<br />

the creation of the state as well as the remembrance days for the war dead and
the millions of victims of the Holocaust led to increased tensions in the
Palestinian city of Hebron. There a group of approximately 500 fundamentalist
settlers hold the town's Palestinian population under a state of siege. With an
attack by Israeli settlers on Palestinian school girls,which took place in late
April. The girls at the Cordoba school in the Tel Rumeida section had been
dismissed and were walking down the stairs leading to the street below. At that
point, six teenage girls from the settlements in the area came running towards
them. The settlers started throwing stones at the girls who had reached the
bottom of the stairs and one physically attacked the girls. The Israeli soldier
present grabbed the girl and pulled her down and then tried to push the
Palestinian school girls up the stairs and away from the settlers. While this
was going on, stones were thrown by the settlers from the street. The situation
was chaotic and the girls were screaming in panic. They finally managed to pass
the soldiers who were busy fighting of the settlers and ran away from the
stairs where they had been easy targets”.</span></div>

had been stressed as of first importance by one or the other of the Jewish
Rabbis, and the first of them- ‘’Love the Lord your God’’- was one of the text
contained in the phylacteries which pious Jews wore on their forehands and
wrists in obedience to the Law of God (Deut. 6:7,8).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But the Gospels are the earliest
known documents in which the two commandments are brought together. Once the
crucial connection is made, their relationship is obvious and this is that as
soon as man discovers and accepts God as his father, he accepts the corollary
of his neighbours being his brethren; because in the light of God’s love to
himself a man sees other men, as it were, through God’s eyes: and to see them
in this way is to love them. So in a way the two laws go together, almost in
what one might call a “mutually inexclusive” manner so to say.</span></div>

unconditional- it is not ‘love your neighbor if he loves you’; or’ love your

Matthew Chapter 5 where He draws our attention to the fact that:</span></div>

himself ( this is how Mark presents it); but in Luke it is the lawyer who makes
this association when Jesus is drawing him out to answer his own question,
“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” But the lawyer may have done this
because he already knew that this was the way in which Jesus construed the Law,
and because he wanted to put the supplementary question: “Who is my neighbor?”</span></div>

We pray for your protection of them and ask that they may be freed quickly.<br />

Grant wisdom and discernment and perseverance.<br />

killed, “heart-felt sorrow and condolences” have been expressed in a joint
statement by Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council
of Churches (WCC) and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan, chairman of the
Royal Aal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought (RABIIT).</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“We strongly condemn the recent
bombings in Jos, Nigeria. The location and timing of the bombings clearly were
designed to cause indiscriminate and widespread casualties among passers-by,
and among rescue workers who were coming to their aid,” read the statement.</span></div>

Jos and Plateau State in 2012 leading a Christian-Muslim delegation in Nigeria,
have stressed that the horrific acts which have just occurred in Jos do not
represent in any way either of their two religions.</span></div>

determined to find ways to support the people of Nigeria and those who are
seeking to put an end to violence in the country,” says their statement.</span></div>

Christianity and Islam call for peace and harmony among all of humanity, and do
not condone or allow offensive warfare or aggression,” reads the statement.</span></div>

to the abduction of more than 200 young women by the Boko Haram fighters, an
event which prompted a “profound concern” from the WCC general secretary urging
“swift and peaceful” action to restore these girls to their homes.</span></div>

face of increasing global sexual exploitation of girls and women, and the
possibility that these abducted students may become victims of just such
injustice and violence. Following the rescue of these children for which we
pray, the impact of exploitation may require long-term accompaniment of the
young women and their families by the Nigerian government, faith communities
and local networks of care and support.</span></div>

with Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan, chairperson of the Royal Aal Al-Bayt
Institute for Islamic Thought (RABIIT), in leading a Christian-Muslim
delegation to visit Nigeria in response to the inter-communal strife that your
country has been experiencing in recent years. Then, as now, we sought ways to
prevent lives being lost in the name of religion.</span></div>

it is of value to embark on the journey to see and connect with the holy sites

Christians in Nigeria to the holy land does not largely include a visit to the Palestinians
Christians who are experiencing gross human rights violation from the Israeli
government. There are indications that the situation in Palestine today can be
likened to the then apartheid policy in South Africa. Israel since 1967
occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank and as a result shut out Palestinians
from gaining access to their land. The fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the
Hague Regulations of 1907 both forbid occupying power from altering the ways of
life of occupied citizens, they likewise prohibit members of the occupying
state from settling in the occupied territory . This means that Israel’s action
in East Jerusalem throughout history as well as today constitutes gross
violation of International Law. Palestinian women and children are arrested
indiscriminately and kept in detention all across Israel. Palestinians right of
residency is withdrawn once they go abroad to study thus separating families
and loved ones. The roundtable did justice to the following Agenda:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
pilgrimage can be thought of as a micro-journey by means of which one explores
the macro-journey of one’s life. Thus Christian Pilgrimage to Israel would be
aimed at helping one to live out the Gospel more comprehensively when one
returns to one’s daily life. It is vital that this connection with the whole of
life is present in pilgrimage: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the
journey in, </i>as it were, becomes the foundation for the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> journey out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>And this
should be true not just at a personal level but at a communal and societal one
too.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is a scandal, and pilgrimage of a much distorted sort, when so many Christians
visit Jerusalem without a second thought about the Church in Israel/Palestine
and the suffering in the Middle East. In his fascinating <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From the Holy Mountain</i>, William Dalrymple exemplifies a healthier
type of pilgrimage in the Holy Land. In the context of his arrival in Jerusalem
he is attentive to the change in the fortunes of Christians in the old city. In
1992, 52 per cent were Christian; now Christians make up fewer than 2.5 per
cent of the population. In the context of his pilgrimage in Jerusalem, Dalrmple
connects the ancient Christian sites to present-day oppression of Christians in
Israel/Palestine by the Israel government. Without the local Christian
population, the most important shrines in the Christian world will be left as
museum pieces, preserved only for the curiosity of tourist. Christianity will
no longer exist in the Holy Land as a living faith; a vast vacuum will exist in
the very heart of Christendom. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
Christians are genuinely concerned to follow Jesus who was born and died in
Israel, then like him, they need to take the whole of life, including politics,
seriously. The Old Testament prophets were deeply concerned for justice in
Israel and, while human bombs are immoral and unacceptable, so too is Israel
oppression of the Palestinians. Part of all Christian pilgrimage to Israel
ought as a matter of principle to connect with these issues.</span></div>

freedom must be given to Christian churches to organize, and government provides

in the name of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. “Peace be with you,”
Jesus tells Thomas after the Resurrection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I greet you in a time of suspicion and
doubt. The story of Thomas has not ended. The story of Thomas continues
to be our story, our context. It is a story where people are doubting in
the Resurrection of Jesus because the fact that there is so much wrong in
the world seems to suggest otherwise. Perhaps we are driven to declare as
Thomas did, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my
finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not
believe” (John 20:25b).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Throughout the years Thomas has been
known to Christendom as a man of suspicion or doubt. Some even call him
“Doubting Thomas.” He is the man who does not believe until he sees for
himself. Perhaps, however, we aren’t being honest with ourselves. Isn’t
this narrative of a man who wrestles with his doubts the story of all of
us? Isn’t this how we behave in our families and churches? Don’t we
struggle daily with doubt and suspicion?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Christian Church has survived for
two thousand years because of the Resurrection story. Mary Magdalene’s
message announcing the risen Lord has never ceased to echo through the
ages. This message of “Christ is risen” resounds in the lives of people
all over the world as it has for two thousand years. This message reminds
us in the midst of our sin and transgressions that the power of
Resurrection assures our forgiveness. This Resurrection can be heard in
the preaching of the Gospel and tasted in the administration of the
Sacrament of the Eucharist. Through the sacrament of baptism, we too
experience the power of Resurrection as we daily die and rise with
Christ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Church of Christ in our current
context, despite its frailty, continues to be the instrument that
proclaims the Gospel message of Resurrection. The Proclamation of the
Living Word is creating peace in the minds and hearts of people who doubt
or suspect. The Proclamation of the Gospel provides hope for those who
have lost hope, those who have lost any vision of a future. The
Proclamation of the Resurrection bears the message of the empty tomb to
those who have lost trust in themselves, humanity, and even God. The
Risen Lord continuously appears in our churches through the breaking of
bread and pouring of wine to give us the peace of God beyond our human
understanding (Phillippians 4:7). Like Thomas, when Jesus comes to us in
the midst of our doubt and wishes us this peace, then we humbly say, “My
Lord and my God!” (John 20:27).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The peace of God through the
Resurrection occurs every days in our hearts, our families, and churches,
even if we live in difficult times—times where the noise of the world
attempts to drown out the words of peace through its clamorous
secularization, extremism, suspicion among nations. The Risen Lord
quietly yet firmly assures us that there is peace in the communion of
saints—the church. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do
not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled,
and do not let them be afraid” (John 14:27). The message of the Risen
Lord is the message of peace.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Today in the Middle East, people wrestle
with doubt on a daily basis. Will the peace process come to fruition?
When I walk in the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem and listen to the
people, I hear so many doubts and suspicions. We have rightfully
inherited the spirit of the “Doubting Thomas.” It seems at times as if
nothing will succeed except violence, occupation, oppression, hatred,
dehumanization, and extremism. We want a tangible sign that this is not
true. We want to know that God is living. Sometimes we ask in our
doubt—“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:34; Matthew
27:46). Why should we continue living in a such a world of injustice? Why
is the mass media continually giving a boost to those who stand on the
bones of victims?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Logically speaking, the spirit of
“Doubting Thomas” has the world in its cynical grip. The arguments of
Thomas are valid. “Show me a sign.” In a rational world, people want
proof, not empty rhetoric or empty promises. The doubter looks at the
powers and principalities of this world and feels hopeless. How can one
overcome the power of unjust economies, the power of authority, the power
of might? What happens to our faith in the Risen Lord in the face of such
negative things? We must always remember what the Risen Lord has taught
Thomas that even if things look hopeless, the Resurrection is more
powerful than our doubt, earthly rulers, violence, injustice, and
extremism. Jesus can change the tide of history in a way which we don’t
expect, because the Triune God promises to make all things new
(Revelation 21:5).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In the newness of God’s reign, we lay
claim to the Easter promise of peace. The promise of the Risen Lord of
“Peace be with you” is also valid for Palestinians and Israelis. Even if
the road to peace based on justice is hard and rocky with many roadblocks
and checkpoints, the promise of Resurrection Peace revives in each one of
us a new hope. There is no other way, even if politicians are unwilling,
than for there to be justice among the nations. I only pray that the day
will come soon where Palestinians and Israelis live alongside one another
in peace based on justice according to international law, each in their
own state. I dream of the day when Jerusalem is a shared city between
three religions and two nations. I dream of that day when there will be
secure borders without walls. We look forward to having equal access to
resources, religious sites, and a reciprocal democratic process. Even if
doubts are there, there is no other way. Even if it looks bleak in my naiveté,
I believe that the power of the Resurrection will make miracles that we
did not expect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There is hope in this hopeless
situation. We will hear Jesus telling us face to face, “Peace be with
you.” And we will one day reply as Thomas once did, “My Lord and my God!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are those who speak skeptically
about the future of Christianity in the Middle East. They paint with a
broad brush and make sweeping generalizations about the complex diversity
of people in this land. On the contrary Middle East is comprised of many
countries, each with their own narrative. Even in the turmoil of the
Middle East experience with its political confusion, the Christian Church
continues to have the message of Resurrection. It has a vital message
because it is an integral part of the fabric of this land and its
peoples. The message of Resurrection is the message of the Risen Lord; it
is the message of peace. It is the message of Jerusalem.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We should be mindful that Christianity
never grew in times of tranquility and prosperity. The power of the
Resurrection was always most visible in the times of difficulties,
challenges, affliction and discrimination. The Christian Church in the
Middle East can rest safely in the assurance of this Resurrection power
despite extremism, war, and the seemingly endless attempts for peace
thwarted by the agendas of selfish ambition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This power of Resurrection is the one
that tells the Arab and Middle East Christians in this area—don’t whine
or sigh, but instead be like Mary Magdalena—tell the other disciples that
Christ is risen! Hope has risen! Freedom has risen! Peace has risen! This
is the message that we cannot keep to ourselves, but we share it with all
around us. We have a great message. We will not lose it even if we feel
like Thomas. This message comes to us from the heart of Jerusalem and the
mouth of the Risen Lord: “Peace be with you.” His peace is our good news
to our city, our peoples, our Church, and to the ends of the earth. Let
our hearts not be troubled nor dismayed. We will not live in doubt, for
He is truly risen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Pope Theodoros II of the Coptic
church heard reports of fifty different church buildings being torched in
Egypt (because he participated with the Mufti of Egypt in declaring the
second revolution last June), he did not despair or whine. Rather, he
declared in a strong voice, “This will only motivate us to continue as
living witnesses in our society.” When I think about his marvelous words,
I see a prime example of the power of Resurrection at work—we should take
this message to heart and let it motivate us as well, for Resurrection is
a reality, and His peace passes all understanding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our call as Arab and Middle East
Christians is to be instruments of peace, ministers of reconciliation,
defenders of human rights, and apostles of love. I invite you to join
with your brothers and sisters in the Middle East as we proclaim the
truth of Christ’s peace in our hearts to the world. I ask you this Easter
Sunday to pray for peace based on justice with reconciliation based on
forgiveness in Palestine and Israel. I implore you for the sake of the
Gospel to pray that politicians will find a peaceful solution to the
conflict in Syria. I beg you to pray for Arab and Middle East Christians
in this region that they may be filled with the power of hope in the
Resurrection. I ask you to not forget us nor cease accompanying us in our
journey, for our mission is yours and yours is ours. Our mission
continues to be one of a prophetic Church, implanting the power of
Resurrection Peace in the hearts of all peoples. This is the reason that
even in the midst of our doubts and suspicions we hear His gentle voice
saying, “Peace be with you.” And all of us with one voice will
astonishingly reply, “My Lord and my God!” With this hope of the
Resurrection, I send to you the Easter greetings of Jerusalem. Al-Masih
Qam – Hakkan Qam! Christ has risen! He is risen indeed!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In recognition of the fact that
it is of value to embark on the journey to see and connect with the holy sites in
Palestine/Israel, Christians must see the pilgrimage journey as an act of
worship which mirrors our devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The pilgrimage journey of
Christians in Nigeria to the holy land does not largely include a visit to the Palestinians
Christians who are experiencing gross human rights violation from the Israeli
government. There are indications that the situation in Palestine today can be
likened to the then apartheid policy in South Africa. Israel since 1967
occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank and as a result shut out Palestinians
from gaining access to their land.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the
Hague Regulations of 1907 both forbid occupying power from altering the ways of
life of occupied citizens, they likewise prohibit members of the occupying
state from settling in the occupied territory . This means that Israel’s action
in East Jerusalem throughout history as well as today constitutes gross
violation of International Law. Palestinian women and children are arrested
indiscriminately and kept in detention all across Israel. Palestinians right of
residency is withdrawn once they go abroad to study thus separating families
and loved ones.</span></div>

life changing spiritual experience, as you walk through the land of
Israel/Palestine, would you stop and ask a question? Who is my neighbor? The
oppressed Palestinian Christian? Or the oppressor in Israel? Would you act as
Jesus commanded? Be your brothers’ keepers, would you stand with the oppressed?
Think, act and support Christianity in Palestine, for once, Think Palestine,
Buy made in Palestine- This is your show of solidarity.</div>

pilgrim, and how he promised that through Abraham and his descendants blessing
would come to all the nations…The true sons of Abraham … know themselves to be
a pilgrim people who have here no permanent quarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… The Church … has understood itself more as
an institution than as an exhibition. It’s typical shape … has been not a band
of pilgrims who have heard the word ‘Go’, but a large and solid building which,
at its best, can only say ‘come’.’’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
pilgrimage can be thought of as a micro-journey by means of which one explores
the macro-journey of one’s life. Thus Christian Pilgrimage to Israel would be
aimed at helping one to live out the Gospel more comprehensively when one
returns to one’s daily life. It is vital that this connection with the whole of
life is present in pilgrimage: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the
journey in, </i>as it were, becomes the foundation for the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> journey out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>And this
should be true not just at a personal level but at a communal and societal one
too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is a scandal, and pilgrimage of a much distorted sort, when so many Christians
visit Jerusalem without a second thought about the Church in Israel/Palestine
and the suffering in the Middle East. In his fascinating <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From the Holy Mountain</i>, William Dalrymple exemplifies a healthier
type of pilgrimage in the Holy Land. In the context of his arrival in Jerusalem
he is attentive to the change in the fortunes of Christians in the old city. In
1992, 52 per cent were Christian; now Christians make up fewer than 2.5 per
cent of the population. In the context of his pilgrimage in Jerusalem, Dalrmple
connects the ancient Christian sites to present-day oppression of Christians in
Israel/Palestine by the Israel government. Without the local Christian
population, the most important shrines in the Christian world will be left as
museum pieces, preserved only for the curiosity of tourist. Christianity will
no longer exist in the Holy Land as a living faith; a vast vacuum will exist in
the very heart of Christendom. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
Christians are genuinely concerned to follow Jesus who was born and died in
Israel, then like him, they need to take the whole of life, including politics,
seriously. The Old Testament prophets were deeply concerned for justice in
Israel and, while human bombs are immoral and unacceptable, so too is Israel
oppression of the Palestinians. Part of all Christian pilgrimage to Israel
ought as a matter of principle to connect with these issues.</span></div>
