Kairos Palestine II Study Guide

Download the Study Guide

Join us for an evening of fellowship, food, and inspiration as we gather Presbyterian peaceseekers during the 227th General Assembly. We’ll honor the work of peace in our church, discuss key issues before GA, and share more about the ministry of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship.

Keynote Speaker:

Dr. Osamah Khalil, Professor of History at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and author of America’s Dream Palace and A World of Enemies.

Three Christians organizations – The Palestine Justice Network (PJN) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), United Methodists for Kairos Response (UMKR), and our own Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) – have developed a study guide for the new Kairos Palestine document, "A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide."

This resource, offered for free to download, invites congregations, small groups, or solidarity circles into a sacred dialogue with the Kairos Palestine II document—a living confession born from the heart of Palestinian Christian suffering.
