Response to Christian Zionism

On October 5 in Seattle, we have an opportunity as a community to learn about the history of Christian Zionism a primary influence on Americas ongoing support for the State of Israel and to learn about how to counteract it with learning, love, and engagement.

A coalition of 15 churches from different denominations and civic organizations are organizing the 4th Annual Kairos Puget Sound Coalition (KPSC) Conference, entitled "Response to Christian Zionism". The program has been thoughtfully designed to help us understand and answer questions such as, What is Zionism? What is Christian Zionism? Is Christian Zionism taught in the New Testament by Jesus or his disciples? How can I and my church respond to Christian Zionism?

We also encourage members of the Friends of Sabeel of North America (FOSNA) and others committed to fostering justice and peace for the peoples of the Holy Land to gather following the conference from 4:00 to 6:00 pm for a wine and cheese reception at the same location to hear from FOSNA founders and staff, including Rev. Dick Toll and Rev. Don Wagner.

We encourage all supported to attend the conference itself and then to stay on for a rare opportunity to meet with elders who helped create FOSNA and key staff who are leading us into the next phase of the crucial work of bringing true justice and peace to Palestine and Israel.
