The profound injustice and suffering in the Holy Land compel us as people of faith to act for peace with justice. ELCA members in particular are called to respond because of the ELCA’s longstanding connections with sisters and brothers in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land (ELCJHL). The ELCA and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) have contributed to humanitarian projects that provide health and education for both Christian and Muslim Palestinians through support for such institutions as Augusta Victoria Hospital, the International Center of Bethlehem, and the schools of the ELCJHL.
