When Justice is Costly - Webinar

What does it mean to bear witness to the kingdom of God amid genocide? How might we bear witness from here in the Pacific?

Join our webinar conversation with John and Sam Munayer, Palestinian Christian theologians and co-editors of The Cross and the Olive Tree: Cultivating Palestinian Theology amid Gaza as they reflect on their family’s story of witness, how doing Palestinian theology amid genocide in Gaza has impacted their faith, and Christ’s call to participate in costly solidarity with the oppressed.

8 pm - Wednesday 1st April.
