The Theologians’ Global Call and Responsibility
Webinar Announcement

The World Forum on Theology & Liberation invites you to an insightful webinar addressing the ongoing crises in Gaza and the Middle East, exploring their global theological implications.
Context:
The conflict ignited by the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack has escalated into a regional war, impacting Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, with repercussions extending far beyond the Middle East. This crisis challenges international law, questions geopolitical ethics, and prompts urgent theological reflection on the intersection of religion and neocolonialism.
The webinar will connect these issues to struggles in Asia, Latin America, and the United States, fostering a global theological discourse. A Palestinian theologian will offer reflections and insights grounded in the experiences of those directly affected.
