Gaza: Life Blockaded
Gaza is like a prison in many ways, surrounded
by high walls on three sides. Gun towers oversee
the free-fire stretch of scorched earth and
rubble, warning anyone--including farmers who once
tilled the land--against getting close. On the
fourth side, the west, the Mediterranean
inexorably draws the eye to the horizon; but it,
too, is forbidden.

Getting Back to the Roots: Community Developers
"Radical means go back to the roots. That
means dig deeper," said Dr. Siosaia Tuitahi of
the Pacific Islander National Caucus of The
United Methodist Church (PINCUM). "Your story,
my story, will become deeper if we connect to
the original story. Never forget. After all,
it's not our story. It's God's story that we
will continue to tell. Jeremiah said, 'If you
are rooted in the Almighty, you will be like the
plant by the river. Your leaves will always be
green…. And blessed are those who are rooted in
Christ Jesus.'"

(Revised June 2008)
Chief executives of the Women's Division and the

just and lasting peace in that region in a
joint statement issued Feb. 19 (updated in
June, 2008). Women's Division Deputy General
Secretary Harriett Jane Olson and Global
Ministries' Interim General Secretary Bishop
Felton E. May issued the statement in response
to attacks on the study launched after a
denominational briefing for delegates to the
2008 General Conference.

United Methodists Reject Divestment from Israel
A number of petitions, including five from U.S.
annual (regional) conferences, were folded into
one petition on "divestment" that called on the
denomination's pension board and finance
agency "to review and identify companies that
profit from sales of products or services that
cause harm to Palestinians and Israelis and
begin phased selective divestment from these
companies."

Where Will Our Help Come From?
Lent 2008
I live in a place that knows how to ask the
question: "Where will our help come from?"
The voice that sings the 121st song is not
foreign to Palestine or to Palestinians. Living
here, working and speaking each day with
Palestinian Christians, I hear in almost ever
word the question: "Where will our help come
from?"

Mission Study on "Israel-Palestine" Is Consistent with United Methodist Policy
A comprehensive 1996 statement on Christian-Jewish
relations by The United Methodist Church's
legislating General Conference strongly reiterated
the denomination's opposition to all forms of
anti-Semitism. Four years later, the quadrennial
General Conference, which is the only entity that
speaks for the whole church, urged United
Methodists to observe Yom HaShoah, the annual
Holocaust Memorial Day, and also addressed
Israeli-Palestinian relations in the Middle East.
