Each speaker brought a unique perspective on pressing issues affecting not only our nation but the global Christian community.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Rev. Frank Chikane<\/strong>\u00a0delivered a deeply challenging keynote address about the church&#8217;s prophetic role. Reflecting on the BGM theme:\u00a0<em>\u201cDiscerning the Moment and the Role of the Church in It,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said \u2018<em>We need a church that can read the times. An ignorant church cannot read the times.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0He emphasized that we are living in a time resembling the pre-colonial era, where power dictates action, often at the expense of justice and truth. Rev. Chikane urged the Church not only to be politically aware but to spiritually discern and respond. He reminded us that prayer must be our first action, not our last resort. To speak truth to power and pray fervently in times of turmoil.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"mcePastedContent\">One of the speakers, a Jewish woman,\u00a0<strong>Mrs. Merle Favis<\/strong>, talked about the harm that Christian Zionism does to the Jewish community that it tries to help. For Jewish people, Zionism is not a geographic place but a state of being in harmony and shalom with God and others, explained Merle. \u00a0Christian support of a political state in the form of Christian Zionism is misplaced, she said. Like many Jewish people around the world, she is opposed to the current war on Palestinian people, seeing it as a departure from rabbinical teachings. \u00a0<\/p><p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Mr. Willie Nel<\/strong>\u00a0offered insights from\u00a0<em>\u201cAn Afrikaner Christian Farmer Perspective.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0His message,\u00a0<em>\u201cHeal the Land \u2013 Heal the People,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0focused on the critical state of agriculture in South Africa, warning of the dangers of land degradation, the collapse of traditional farming due to rising debt and industrial expansion, and the direct link between soil health, food security, and national well-being.

Hundreds of Palestinian villages were violently destroyed, forcing 750,000 inhabitants into neighboring countries where they remain as refugees to this day. The day after this fateful day, May 15th, is remembered by Palestinians as the Nakba ( catastrophe), which references the displacement of people from the land they had occupied for thousands of years.<\/p><p>Nor did the catastrophe end in 1948. It continues to this day with Israel\u2019s genocidal war on the Arab population, in full view of a watching world. Hundreds of thousands are subjected to starvation and denied water as a strategy of Israel\u2019s war on Palestinians.<\/p><p>The 1948 Nakba, made worse by the current war on the people of Palestine, constitutes a Kairos moment for the Christian world. It is a call to decide whether the Father of our Lord Jesus is a tribal God whose love for Israel excludes Palestinians or, as Jesus proclaimed: God so loved the ( whole) world that He gave His only Son to save it.
