In July of this year, the General Synod voted to ‘hear’ the Kairos II Palestine document as a ‘cry’ of their Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters. This caused serious offence amongst the Jewish community, and was claimed to be deeply antisemitic by some commentators, whilst others welcomed it as a necessary step in listening to those who are being oppressed.
To make sense of this, Jason Swan Clark offers this analysis and critique of Kairos Palestine II document, and explains why it has divided opinion and presented such a challenge for the Church of England.
