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.
