Israel & Palestine Peacemaking

As a community, we want to offer resources to guide Christians as they neighbor locally and internationally.

Community Engagement

• The Telos Group fosters communities of American peacemakers across lines of difference, and equips them to help reconcile seemingly intractable conflicts at home and abroad.

Telos Tables officially meet quarterly for guided curricula developed by the Telos team in partnership with Table Hosts. Table curricula cover a wide range of topics within our primary issue areas. Whether a Table group focuses on introduction to general peacemaking, racial equity in the United States, or Israel/Palestine, each Table curriculum offers a deep-dive into the details, while drawing connections between all of our core issues. Table Hosts and Table groups decide for themselves which thematic area they want to focus on. If you’re interested in joining a Telos Table, email sarah.sturm@telosgroup.org.

• Join Grace Capital City’s weekly prayer gatherings at noon on Fridays for Israel & Palestine at Grace Capital City. For more information, email our Justice Director Hannah at hannahbanks@gfc.tv.
