SUMUD Northland – for Justice and Healing in Palestine and Israel

Kairos Palestine is a Palestinian Christian ecumenical movement rooted in the historic Moment of Truth document issued in 2009. Born from the lived reality of suffering, steadfast faith, and the longing for justice, the Kairos Palestine movement raises a prophetic voice against the ongoing oppression in Palestine. The original Kairos Document stands as the collective word of Palestinian Christians to the world; a cry of hope grounded in love, prayer, and unwavering faith in God. It speaks first to our own Palestinian community and then calls upon churches and Christians everywhere to reject injustice and apartheid, and to work courageously for a just and lasting peace.

For sixteen years, this commitment has guided their work, shaped their theology, and sustained their advocacy. In November of 2025, and in response to the genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement which has unfolded before the eyes of the world for the past 2 years, Kairos Palestine launched its second major document: “A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide.”

On Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 1:30 pm SUMUD Northland will examine this document and see what it means for us. You can download a PDF copy of this 14 page document by searching for Kairos Palestine II in your internet browser.       

Then on October 18, 2026, SUMUD Northland invites you to start a dual-narrative virtual journey through Israel/Palestine, following Palestinian peacebuilder Aziz Abu-Sharah and Israeli entrepreneur Maoz Inon as they travel together to significant places across the Holy Land in their new book, The Future Is Peace: A Shared Journey Across the Holy Land. We would encourage you to get this New York Times Bestseller book and join in on the journey.

            SUMUD Northland will continue to meet on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 pm with most of our meetings being on Zoom and in person at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Duluth, MN.
