Thank you for posting this. How different this Christmas season sermon is from ours. We speak of peace. And these Palestinian Christians speak of genocide and ethnic cleansing. We do pray but we must also act to make our congressmen and women aware of our views. We are aiding in the killing of our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ and have used the Bible to defend it. God, we repent and promise to do better. Have mercy on those everywhere who call themselves Christians. We will not be complicit by our silence.
Thank you for this. It is a deeply moving sermon. I think the message of Christ amid this devastation is hope. And the message should be for us to act -- to give, to help, to write to our representative and call for a stop to the genocide.
I saw Rev. Munther’s sermon yesterday. I was left deeply moved and troubled at the same time. His predecessor at the church, Rev. Mitri Raheb, has written a number of books and articles about what it means to be a Palestinian Christian in Bethlehem. I read his book, “Faith in the Face of Empire”, twice. European and American Christianity has much to repent of in its view of and attitudes towards Palestinians.
