In this moving conversation, Palestinian Christian Dr Lamma Mansour shares her experience of life in Palestine. She reflects on theology, justice, solidarity, and the role of the global Church. From the realities of blockade and occupation to the spiritual resilience rooted in the Kingdom of God, Lamma challenges Christians to examine how theology can either uphold or undermine human dignity. She calls for a faithful response that embodies mercy, justice, and reconciliation. Key themes:

• The humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank

• The impact of Christian Zionism on Palestinian communities

• The role of global theology in shaping local realities

• A call to solidarity and faithful witness from the Church in New Zealand

• Living out the Kingdom of God in a land marked by suffering

Lamma closes with a heartfelt prayer for the Church in New Zealand, inviting us to respond with courage, wisdom, and love.
