Middle East Task Force
Origin
The Middle East Task Force was appointed in the fall of 1974 by the Committee on Church and Society of the Chicago Presbytery, to implement the recommendations of the 186th General Assembly that “presbyteries encourage study and foster dialogue in response to the current Middle East conflict.” Thirty-five years after its formation, the conflict in the Middle East, specifically in Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories, has intensified.
Partners:
The formal Covenant process will involve Sessions of congregations who choose to enter into the covenant, which may include financial support. Individual membership is open to all Presbyterians who support our purpose. Funding for our work will come from supporting congregations and individual contributions.
