Palestinian Christians declare the 'kairos' time is now

During Advent this year, Palestinian Christian leaders gathered in Bethlehem to launch "A Moment of Truth: A Word of Faith, Hope and Love from the Heart of Palestinian Suffering." The so-called Palestinian Kairos document is a statement of reality and hope from a broad coalition of Christian leaders in Palestine.


Among those attending the Dec. 11 launch was Rabbi Brian Walt, of Jewish Fast for Gaza, a panelist at the Kairos document launch.

"The most challenging spiritual and moral question for the Jewish community today is the occupation of Palestine by Israel," he said.
