DESCRIPTION:Palestinian Christians call us to "costly solidarity" in the stunning new 
 Kairos Palestine document.\n\nPresented by UMKR and MFSA –\nKairos 
 Palestine II is a decisive turning point in the Palestinian Christian 
 liberation movement and a challenge to Christians everywhere.\n\nSixteen 
 years ago in Bethlehem, Palestinian Christians called on Christians 
 worldwide to stand against injustice in the Holy Land, asking us "Can you 
 help us get our freedom back?"\n\nThat call in 2009 was the first “Moment 
 of Truth” declaration, the Kairos Palestine Document that UMKR is named 
 for. That historic statement galvanized Christians around the world and 
 launched a global movement.\n\nIn November 2025, again speaking from 
 Bethlehem, Kairos Palestine launched its second major manifesto “A Moment 
 of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide.”\n\nThis powerful statement brings 
 us a theology of comprehensive resistance, boldly naming the ongoing 
 genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, racism, and settler colonialism that 
 Palestinians live with and challenging us to acknowledge that 
 reality.\n\nIn our February 2026 webinar, two of the leading voices among 
 Palestinian Christians will present and unfold this extraordinary document 
 for us, helping us grasp its key messages and the actions urgently needed 
 in the church and in society.\n\nSpeaking from Palestine, we will have two 
 renowned international speakers and authors: Rifat Kassis, the General 
 Coordinator of Kairos Palestine, and Rev. Munther Isaac, pastor, 
 theologian, and Academic Dean at Bethlehem Bible College.\n\nJoining them 
 will be United Methodist leaders on several continents, bringing us their 
 responses to Kairos Palestine II from their unique geographic and church 
 contexts.\n\nUMKR leadership will consider United Methodist solidarity thus 
 far and what the call to “costly solidarity” will mean for our movement 
 and throughout the denomination.\n\n
