After recent violence, we give thanks that prayers for peace have been answered with a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. If you would like to learn how Lutherans from around the world are involved in the on-going work for peace in the Holy Land through the campaign Peace not Walls. We encourage you to also learn about and consider supporting ecumenical Christian organizations working for peace and justice in Israel and Palestine like the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel, which sends international observers to monitor human rights conditions and Sabeel, an ecumenical peace-building organization of the local Christians whose ancestors have lived in the Holy Land since the time of Jesus.
