  • Palestinian Christians
    Palestinian Christians Palestinian Christians are the descendants of the original indigenous Christians who first believed in Jesus Christ. They are the descendants of the disciples of Jesus Christ & the descendants of other Jews, Philistines, Arabs, Aramaeans/Eremites, Canaanites, Greeks, Romans, Persians & Samaritans... who accepted the Messiah when He was with them in the flesh. Today, they live in Nazareth, Bethlehem, Gaza, Nablus, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Jenin, Taybeh, Birzeit, Jifna, al-Bireh, Zababdeh, Tel Aviv, Tubas, Azzun, Aboud, Tiberias, Sakhnin, Shefa-'Amr, Galilee, Jish, Amman, & other places in the Biblical Palestine & Jordan, in addition to the exile. They are Arab Christian Believers of Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic (eastern & western rites), Protestant, Evangelical & other denominations, who have ethnic or family origins in Palestine. In both the local dialect of Palestinian Arabic and in classical or modern standard Arabic, Christians are called Nasrani (a derivative of the Arabic word for Nazareth, al-Nasira) or Masihi (a derivative of Arabic word Masih, meaning "Messiah"). Christians comprise less than 4% of Palestinian Arabs living within the borders of former Mandate Palestine today (around 4% in the West Bank, a negligible percentage in Gaza, and nearly 10% of Israeli Arabs). According to official British Mandate estimates, Mandate Palestine’s Christian population varied between 9.5% (1922) and 7.9% (1946) of the total population. Demographics and Denominations Today, the majority of Palestinian Christians live abroad. In 2005, it was estimated that the Christian population of the Palestinian territories was between 40,000 and 90,000 people, or 2.1 to 3.4% of the population.

    Exchange 49 (2020) 257-277 brill.com/exch The Revival of Palestinian Christianity Developments in Palestinian Theology Elizabeth S. Marteijn PhD Candidate, School of Divinity, Centre for the Study of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK [email protected] Abstract Palestinian Christians are a minority of approximately 1 or 2% in a context marked by conflict, expulsions, and ongoing emigration. Despite all this, Palestinian Christians have made a significant contribution to society in the spheres of politics, the arts, sci- ence, and social welfare. Moreover, from the 1980s onwards, this Palestinian context of struggle has also been the source for the emergence of a socially and politically committed contextual theology. This article analyses the development of Palestinian contextual theology by examining theological publications by Palestinian theologians. It identifies liberation, reconciliation, witness, ecumenism, and interfaith-dialogue as some of the dominant theological themes. What unites these publications is a theological engagement with the Palestinian Christian identity in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Keywords contextual theology – Israeli-Palestinian conflict – Kairos theology – Palestinian Christianity – Palestinian theology – public theology 1 An Arab Christian Awakening Palestinian Christians feel deeply rooted in Palestinian society. They under- stand themselves as part of the Palestinian community and actively contribute to its flourishing.

  • The View from Here Artists // Public Policy Ceu School of Public Policy Annual Conference June 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 2016 Another Day Lost: 1906 and Counting
    the view from here artists // public policy ceu school of public policy annual conference june 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 2016 Another Day Lost: 1906 and counting... by Syrian artist Issam Kourbaj 1 From Ai Wei Wei to Banksy, we can see art engaging policy and the political sphere. But in an increasingly connected world where cultural production is ever more easily disseminated, how can this engagement be most effective and meaningful? The CEU School of Public Policy’s 2016 annual conference focuses on a series of questions that are not often asked in the world of government or academia. How do artists engage with issues in public policy? How do artistic representations of issues change how they are perceived? Can artists promote wider public engagement in policymaking? How do artists challenge ideas in their societies and to what end? How does humor intersect with politics, censorship, and violence? Focusing on Hungary, India, Mexico, Sudan, and Syria, we are seeking a truly global perspective on issues including democracy, drugs, migration, violence, and censorship. 2 PROGRAM / ART Visit and participate in exhibitions at CEU from June 1-7. Nador u. 11, Body Imaging by Abby Robinson room 002 Precise office hours will be announced soon. Body Imaging, an installation/performance/photography piece, affords a unique collaborative occasion to make photos of all types of bodies, allowing people to display as much/little exhibitionism as they wish in a protected, safe environment. EXAMINATION: Only doctors & photographers examine people’s bodies at distances reserved for lovers. In my performative role as “photo practitioner,” I peer at people’s selected body parts at incredibly close range.

Ordained on the 24 December 2005 at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, he is the second Palestinian to hold the position of Archbishop in the history of the diocese.

  • Anglican Church in Southern Africa Adopts Bds Boycott of Israel
    ANGLICAN CHURCH IN SOUTHERN AFRICA ADOPTS BDS BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL PRESS STATEMENT: Anglican Church in Southern Africa adopts BDS boycott of Israel 29 September 2019 The South African human rights and Palestine solidarity NGO, BDS South Africa, welcomes the decision by the over 4.5 million strong Southern African provincial synod of the Anglican Church (ACSA) that has adopted the BDS boycott of Israel. ACSA represents Anglican Christian communities in southern African countries including South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique and Angola. In a motion, now a binding resolution, titled “Time to act: Solidarity with Palestine” the church specifcally calls for support of the “well-directed Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) actions against the Israeli state until they end their occupation of Palestine”. Click here for the full resolution. The resolution, proposed by Bishop Luke Pato of Namibia, also dispels the confusion between the Modern Apartheid State of Israel (created in 1948 at the expense of the indigenous Palestinians) with the Biblical Land of Israel that one reads about in the bible: “the situation in the Holy Land demands the attention of the Christian church precisely because that is the place where Jesus the Christ was born, nurtured, crucified and raised..the current political nation state of Israel and Israel in the Bible should not be confused with each other…” BDS South Africa thanks the Southern African Synod of the Anglican Church for including BDS SA board member, Dudu Masango-Mahlangu, in their recent meeting. Masango-Mahlangu has consistently been working with Churches within Southern Africa on the issue of Palestine-Israel.

  • Religious Studies Unit
    RELIGIOUS STUDIES UNIT Introduction and Background Interfaith matters and religious issues have always had a special place in PASSIA’s regular meeting program, and having realized the increasing need for better understanding between the various religious communities, in early 1998, PASSIA decided to establish a Religious Study Unit devoted to inter-religious dialogue and activities. The unit’s work focuses on the role and significance of religion for different people and tries to promote understanding of, and respect for, others in order to address this religious diversity. Subjects discussed include the causes and consequences of problems within and between the established religious communities and activities that contribute to the elimination of misconceptions and stereotypes. The PASSIA Religious Studies Unit combines the following activities, some of which held ‘off the record’ to allow for the frankest exchange and debates possible: • Workshops and seminars are encounters on a specific topic, involving either members of the three monotheistic religions or only representatives of the Christian or Muslim community. These workshops intended to help participants to find common ground and to allow different religions to work in harmony and on an equal footing. • Participation in conferences, here and abroad, that deal with aspects of religion, belief and interfaith relations, or foster an open and free debate on religious issues and aspects as they concern the people in the Holy Land are also a fix part of PASSIA’s Religious Studies Unit. • In addition, meetings and brainstorming sessions are organized, involving members of PASSIA’s Religious Studies Unit and local and foreign counterparts/project partners from the three monotheistic religions with the aim of fostering coordination of ongoing and future activities.

The Ftihrer Principle of International Law: Individual Responsibility and Collective Punishment Larry Catai Backer* Abstract I offer here an extended Nietzschean joke: the necessity of error in the constitution of individual authority and communal power. Communities-the nation-state, religious communities, terrorist organizations-are arranged through a cultivation of error: mistaking causes for effects, assuming a false causality, creating an imagined causality, and assuming a free will. These errors of causation, these miscausations, have been offered as a means through which leaders or leader classes-the judge, the priest, the king, the president, the charismatic leader of violent sub-national communities-maintain authority. In contrast, the community itself, those who are led, dominated, controlled, manipulated, are considered only in the passive. They are the victims, the weak-willed, the powerless, the sheep, the herd.

  • 1 the Chronicle of John of Nikiu: Historical Writing in Post-Roman
    The Chronicle of John of Nikiu: Historical Writing in Post-Roman Egypt Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Felege-Selam Solomon Yirga Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee David Bernhard Brakke, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Marie Sessa 1 Copyrighted by Felege-Selam Solomon Yirga 2020 2 Abstract While there has been a great deal of work on the late seventh-century Chronicle of John, the anti-Chalcedonian Bishop of Nikiu, since its 1883 publication and French translation by Hermann Zotenberg, there have been few modern studies devoted exclusively to the author and his work. What is more, these modern studies primarily engage with the text as a source of data for the reign of Emperor Herakleios, and the Arab conquest of Egypt, meaning that modern historians often read past the author to a layer of sources beneath them. This positivist utilitarian view of the Chornicle often involves reducing John’s worldview to that of a monophysite historian and a Coptic proto-nationalist, and as such interprets the relevant data through this framework. Modern scholarship has further transposed this world view onto the author’s world, creating the impression that the Chronicle presents a narrative which reflects the development of a Coptic identity characterized primarily by hostility towards the Chalcedonian church, and the Roman state which had previously supported it. Anything in the text which challenges this view is dismissed as the product of John of Nikiu’s method of compiling sources and inverting pro-Chalcedonian and pro-Roman sentiments where they appear.

  • Territory, Anti-Intellectual Attitude, and Identity Formation in Late Antique Palestinian Monastic Communities
    Religion &Theology Religion & Theology 17 (2010) 244–267 brill.nl/rt Territory, Anti-Intellectual Attitude, and Identity Formation in Late Antique Palestinian Monastic Communities Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony Department of Comparative Religion, Faculty of Humanities, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Mt. Scopus, Jerusalem 91905, Israel [email protected] Abstract Identity both religious and secular is influenced by external factors. This article is an attempt to show how this is the case in connection with two Palestinian ascetic communities and how these two communities though both influenced by the Chalcedonian controversies, as well as the second Origenist controversy developed very differing identities. Keywords identity formation, Palestine, ascetic centres, Chalcedonian controversies, Origenist controversy 1. Introductory Remarks It is widely acknowledged that Christianity in Late Antique Palestine was far from being a religious or cultural monolith; rather, its cosmopolitan nature was one of its distinctive marks. Palestinian monasticism, which arose in the second half of the fourth century, was likewise, an international movement. Most of the monks and virgins came from abroad, and they conducted their liturgy in a variety of languages, including Greek, Georgian, and Armenian,1 1 V. Sabae 20, 32, ed. E.
