Congregational Study Guide for Kairos Palestine II

Several organizations in the US — The Palestine Justice Network of the Presbyterian Church - USA, United Methodists for Kairos Response, and Friends of Sabeel North America — have released a new congregational study guide for the confessional Kairos Palestine II document — "A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide."

This resource, written especially for Lent, invites congregations into a sacred dialogue with the Kairos Palestine II document, a confession born from the heart of Palestinian Christian suffering. To study it during Lent, that ancient season of preparation and renewal, is to walk the path of baptism once more: to rediscover what it means to pledge our faith in Christ and to boldly renounce the sin and evil alive in our world today.

The study sessions ground the confession in current realities in Gaza, the West Bank, and within the wider Palestinian diaspora, where church leaders describe an ongoing time of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement. The guide situates the new Kairos Palestine text within the long arc of ecumenical concern for Palestine/Israel and invites congregations to receive it as a cry to the global church for help and hope.
