RECOGNISE PALESTINE POSTCARD
We have produced a postcard designed for you to send to your Federal Member of Parliament. This is the image on the front of the card with text urging the Australian government to support real peace for Palestine and Israel. As of July 2025, 147 countries have recognised Palestine as a State, yet Australia is still yet to do so. We are concerned that this inaction is resulting in increased repression and hardship for all Palestinians, including our Christian brothers and sisters there. The Palestinian church has maintained the birthplace of Christianity, for 2,000 years yet the church there is suffering under occupation. If you would like a postcard to send to you MP, please contact us.
worLD WEEK FOR PEACE IN PALESTINE & ISRAEL
During the third week of September each year the World Council of Churches holds the World Week for Peace in Palestine & Israel (WWPPI), which includes the UN International Day for Peace. Each year they focus on a particularly theme and provide resources that can be used in a variety of ways, including during church services. WWPPI is an invitation for people of faith around the world to participate in prayer, educational events, advocacy and action in support of an end to the occupation of Palestine so that Palestinians and Israelis can finally live in peace. Let us know if you would like a speaker to attend a WWPI event you organise.
