It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the next WFTL webinar:
Gaza & Middle East: The Theologians’ Global Call and Responsibility
January 24th, 2025
11 AM- 1 PM EST
[English-Spanish – translation will be provided)
Speakers:
Dr. Kwok Pui-lan (USA)
Dr. Nicolas Panotto (Argentina/Chile)
Dr. Carlos Mendoza Álvarez (Mexico/USA)
Dr. Viola Raheb (Palestine/Austria)
The war in Gaza and the Middle East, ignited on October 7, 2023, has global repercussions far beyond geopolitics, intersecting with religion, neocolonialism, and biblical imaginaries. These realities raise urgent theological and ethical questions, demanding a global response.
Three non-Palestinian theologians will reflect on how Palestine intersects with their own theological work. Dr. Kwok pui-Lan will discuss the topic from a Asian and American perspective; Dr. Carlos Mendoza Alvarez will do the same, especially from a Mexican perspective; and then Dr. Nicolas Panotto, from an Argentinian and Chilean perspective. How do they figure out their theological responsibility to Palestine, the Middle East, Israel, and justice? In a Liberation perspective, how do they connect Palestine and their own contexts? Then, the Palestinian theologian, Dr. Viola Raheb, will assess what has been presented, exploring its relevancy for the people of Palestine.
