Last Friday, Oct 12th, Christian Palestinian youth activists of Sabeel created an extraordinary public witness in order to counter the annual march of Christian Zionists in Jerusalem. I had discussed plans for the demonstration with animator Omar Haramy when I saw him in Stockholm last month. The action was masterfully executed, and I hope you’ll take a moment to click on this link to a photo essay by MCC worker and friend Ryan Beiler about the demonstration. I think you’ll be edified by this politically astute and profoundly biblically literate action, which stands in the faith-grounded tradition of “public liturgy as protest.”
