Dear ,

During the third week in September, KAIROS joins churches around the globe in the World Council of Churches’ call for a World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel (WWPPI). People of faith and conscience will join together to educate, advocate and pray for an end to the occupation and for just peace in Palestine and Israel. During this week, KAIROS will highlight the work of our partners in Palestine and Israel -particularly women’s organizations - whose daily struggle to build a just, inclusive and sustainable peace informs and inspires our work. 

This year’s WWPPI theme, “Creative Solidarity in Common Fragility” reminds us that peace is not determined by agreements between governments and powerful interests that exclude the very people who are affected by the conflict. Peace must be grounded in solidarity with peoples who share a common commitment to equality and justice and who are working to build conditions for peace from the ground up. Partners like Yusef Daher, Executive Secretary of the Jerusalem Inter-Church Centre who told us: “Equality is the roots of justice and peace will be the fruit.”

Join us from September 14- 21 in educating, advocating, strengthening solidarity and praying for an end to the occupation and a just peace in Palestine and Israel.

In solidarity,
