Public Meeting - 'Christians Today in Palestine'

Jeremy Moodey on life in the Occupied Palestinian Territory

Jeremy Moodey (CEO of the Christian charity Embrace the Middle East) will talk about what life is like for the Christian community in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and especially in Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

He will also discuss the recent document ‘A Time for Action’ that is a British Christian response to ‘A Moment of Truth’ known as the Kairos Document of 2009 issued by Palestinian Christians of all denominations. It drew attention to the Occupation through a Christian perspective and called for concerted action to end that occupation and give Palestinians of whatever religion their own state.

Jeremy Moodey was appointed chief executive of BibleLands, the Christian development charity focused on the Middle East, in November 2009. He led a programme of change at the charity, including changing its name to Embrace the Middle East.
