But now: Time’s up.Ĭornerstone Magazine – Issue 77, Winter 2018 Whether we are talking about the occupation of Palestine, or the colonization of indigenous peoples, or the destructive forces of toxic masculinity in our homes, workplaces, and places of worship, we believe that Christ our Liberator requires us to stand with him, for freedom. Wherever people are oppressed, we stand for liberation. This means that wherever there is injustice, we stand on the side of justice. Is it really necessary to have our #UsToo moment?īut we at Sabeel have chosen to address this critically important topic because we are a Palestinian Liberation Theology Center. Others may wonder if Sabeel is simply riding the wave of the #MeToo movement, choosing to address this trending topic along with many other institutions grappling with stories of abuse, rape, and harassment perpetrated against women. Sometimes it can feel that one struggle is simply enough at one time. Why do we want to “air our dirty laundry?” Will sharing these stories feed into prejudices against Palestinians, and against Arab men in general? Many times we have heard it said, “Let us achieve our human rights first, then we can deal with women’s rights.” In fact, this excuse is not unique to the Palestinian Liberation movement – this has often been arefrain among peoples fighting for liberation around the world. Some readers may be uncomfortable with this topic being tackled while we are still suffering under the weight of the Occupation. Why is Sabeel, a Palestinian Liberation Theology Center, publishing on the crisis of sexual harassment in Palestinian society? We commit to staying in the conversation-even when it is difficult-whilst at the same time holding strongly to our own faith and beliefs.Ĭornerstone Magazine – Issue 78, Summer 2018 Through this issue of Cornerstone, we at Sabeel aim to encourage interfaith and inter-religious dialogue in a way which is just and inclusive, authentic and vulnerable. This exchange can be a collection of theologians from across the religious spectrum coming together to discuss matters of doctrine, or it can be individuals coming together to discuss issues of mutual concern. Inter-religious dialogue, on the other hand, requires an exchange to take place. Coexistence is in itself an interfaith act – an interaction between faiths. It is entirely possible to be in an interfaith situation without dialogue, simply standing in solidarity alongside those of another denomination or faith. The issue features viewpoints from writers with a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.įrom the outset, it is important that we establish the difference between interfaith and inter-religious dialogue. This edition of Sabeel’s “Cornerstone” publication is focused on interfaith and inter-religious dialogue. Exploring these communities through the eyes of various people from the international, Israeli, and Palestinian communities.Ĭornerstone Magazine – Issue 79, Winter 2018/2019 In this edition of Cornerstone we will explore the various Christian communities both in Israel and Palestine. This is especially vital in the Land of the Holy One where the Christian community is divided especially those communities in the West Bank, where communities are divided by illegal Israeli settlements and in Gaza with its tiny number of Christians – a tiny community who work hard to make a big impact.Īt a time when the number of international Christians is beginning to outweigh the number of native Palestinian Christians, solidarity and understanding is more important than ever. Community is a key part of Christian life, it appears throughout the Bible with Jesus illustrating community throughout the parables.
