Mennonite Church Canada Resolution on Palestine and Israel: FAQ

Delegates at the Mennonite Church Canada Assembly 2016 in Saskatoon voted in favour of a resolution guided by grace and committed to prayerful discernment in a shared quest for a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians. It is a call to affirm the efforts of those committed to non-violent ways of overcoming injustice, a call to congregations to deepen their understanding of relationships in the Holy Land, a call to avoid investing in activities that profit from occupation of disputed Palestinian territories, and an encouragement to ask our federal government to support measures that end the occupation and work for just peace. This FAQ offers explanations to commonly asked questions about the Churches’ decision.
