In late October 2023, a network of Palestinian Christian institutions located throughout Israel/Palestine published “An Open Letter from Palestinian Christians to Western Church Leaders and Theologians.”—a clarion call for Western church leaders and theologians to repent of our active support or passive acceptance of the oppression of Palestinian people. 

On April 9, 2024, a group of us, Christian leaders and theologians from across the Global North and South, issued the following response. Our statement of confession, repentance and solidarity did not aim to repent on behalf of “the Western church.” Rather, we issued this response on our own behalf. 

Since April 9, the State of Israel and the U.S. have erased more than 1000 Palestinian images of God. 1000 more were injured. This brings the current total killed, maimed or missing under the rubble to nearly 119,000. 

We invite you to read this response and consider how your story intersects with the story of Christian thought formation concerning Israel/Palestine. If you find resonance with this letter, please join us in confession, repentance and solidarity by writing your own confessions, repentance and pledges of solidarity in the comments section below.
