The Riverside Church and
Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) present:
“Silence is Complicity”
Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac Calls
Upon U.S. Churches
In 1967, Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. came to The Riverside Church to deliver his speech, “Beyond
Vietnam – A Time to Break Silence,” where he called on America to admit its
wrongdoings to the people of Vietnam, atone, and take initiative in working towards
peace. Today, 57 years later, Americans find ourselves needing to break the
silence yet again and admit our complicity in the genocide of Palestinians,
atone, and work towards peace.
Join us in hearing from Rev.
Dr. Munther Isaac, a profound Palestinian Christian voice visiting from
Bethlehem who recently went viral for his Christmas sermon, “Christ in the
Rubble.” He will address the impacts of silence from American churches and
Christian Zionism’s support of the ongoing apartheid and genocide in the West
Bank and Gaza, followed by a Q&A.
