PIN Mission Statement
To establish a network dedicated to a more robust Episcopal Church witness for justice and peace
for our Palestinian and Israeli brothers and sisters for the purposes of responding to:
• The promise made in our baptismal covenant to “ … strive for justice and peace among all people,
and respect the dignity of every human being”;
• The call in 2005 by Palestinian Civil Society for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions until Israel complies
with international law and universal principles of human rights, a call supported by the Episcopal Peace Fellowship; and
• The prayerful call of Palestinian Christians expressed in the 2009 Kairos Palestine Document.
We believe the Episcopal Church can and should play a vital role in seeking justice and peace for Palestinians and Israelis. We believe that without justice, there cannot be the lasting peace that both people deserve.
PIN is on the Road to General Convention 2022!
where our message will be:
Our baptismal covenant commits us to strive for justice and peace among all people.
Palestinians face a human rights crisis rooted in the racism of a settler-colonial system, similar to that in the United States. This is a key moment for action!
At this convention, the bishops and deputies can do something: respond to the cry of the Palestinian people and build on the 40 years of prophetic Episcopal Church policy on Palestine-Israel.
PIN is calling on bishops and deputies to pass four resolutions which:
Support BDS
Oppose Israeli apartheid
Affirm our freedom to boycott
Reject Christian Zionism
