Dr. Munther Isaac DESCRIPTION:Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) is pleased to invite you to join us on April 2\, 2025 for the Washington DC launch of Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac’s new book “Christ in the Rubble” at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. \nIn this impassioned and incisive book\, Munther Isaac challenges mainstream Christians’ uncritical embrace of the modern State of Israel. Speaking from his unique vantage point as a prominent Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian\, he proclaims a truth that is rarely acknowledged in Christian circles: Israel’s campaign to eliminate the Palestinian people did not begin after October 7\, 2023. Rather\, the campaign is a continuation of a colonial project with nineteenth-century roots that has\, since 1948\, established systems of entrenched discrimination and segregation worse than South Africa’s apartheid regime. \nWriting from Bethlehem with close-up knowledge of conditions on the ground\, and rooted in a commitment to nonviolence and just peace\, Isaac challenges readers to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ—who can be found not among perpetrators of violence\, but with victims buried under the rubble of war. \nRegister here.

This story unfolds with ‘original sin’ at birth\, redemption through Christ’s death on the cross—’penal substitutionary atonement’—and concludes with salvation at the resurrection. It’s a narrative that resonates across contemporary media\, from podcasts to movies. Get a coffee\, a treat\, and come to the Docherty Center at 11:30 for an introductory discussion asking\, ‘Is this the only story?’ All are welcome. No registration is required. You can learn more about the 5 session series\, and find reading and listening resources here.

First\, we are all stained at birth by “original sin”. Then Christ died on the cross for our sin – “penal substitutionary atonement”. Finally\, on Easter we are “saved” by the resurrection. Get a coffee\, a treat and come to Docherty Center at 11:30 for discussion led by Paul Vasile about rethinking worship music with new hymns and “editing” the traditional favorites.
