A powerful retelling of Jesus’ parable of The Good Samaritan is made by Rev. Dr. Munther Issac from the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, at The Way Christian Center in Berkeley, CA on August 11, 2024.
Pastor Michael McBride of the Way Christian Center welcomes Rev. Dr. Munther Issac to the pulpit.
Rev. Issac’s message is remarkable in several ways. He tells the parable as a follower of Christ and as a Palestinian to a predominantly Black, evangelical, inner-city church. Evangelical churches in America, for the most part, have turned their backs on the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile, the US Congress hosted a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It gave him 58 standing ovations as the US continued to supply the munitions to sustain the genocide in Gaza. Also, please watch Rev. Issac’s address: “Silence Is Complicity: A Palestinian Call to Action” while on tour with Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA).
