Today’s podcast is part 2 of a special series about the breakout of violence between Israel and Palestinians that has occurred in recent weeks. Peter Makari, the Executive for the Middle East & Europe at Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ, is the ecumenical community’s go-to guy on Middle East policy. I’m blessed to be joined by him in a deep conversation about the current crisis and what churches can do to help bring about a lasting peace in the region.
Read Peter’s article on the United Church of Christ website for perspective. Prepare to be enlightened. See also these statements by organizations in the Middle East to hear their voices.
