- Report of delegation to Israel/Palestine
- The WCC General Secretary sent an ecumenical delegation ("the delegation") to Jerusalem and the West Bank from 27 June to 1 July 2001 to meet with the Patriarchs and Heads of Christian Communities in Jerusalem as well as key local clergy and laity, church-related and ecumenical organisations including Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peace activists. This was an exploratory and consultative mission as part of a preparatory process for an international ecumenical meeting to be convened in Geneva on 6-7 August 2001. The main purpose of the August consultation will be to provide a space for sharing, joint planning and strategizing, as well as attempt to facilitate better co-ordination and co-operation among all church and ecumenical actors. The delegation was not on a fact-finding mission. Rather, its key objectives were: # To learn of local ecumenical strategies and plans of action(s) in the context of the Second Palestinian Uprising from the heads of churches and different groups of civil society (church related, ecumenical organisations, peace and human rights advocates) that go beyond statements and appeals; # To share further with these local partners on WCC initiatives and the consultation process; # To consider together an international ecumenical plan of action and response, including proposals for developing/supporting/accompanying initiatives of the churches of Jerusalem and the wider Palestinian and Israeli civil society such as: * An ecumenical witness for peace programme, including providing an international ecumenical presence for protection/monitoring/reporting and awareness building; * non-violent resistance and direct actions.
