Palestinian pastor: 'Christ is still in the rubble'
‘Christ is still in the rubble’ this Christmas, Palestinian Christian Pastor, Munther Isaac, said during a service in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. Highlighting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, he reminded the worshippers of the hope Gaza has uncovered. ‘But it has also been 440 days of resilience and even beauty. I think of our heroes of Gaza: the doctors, the medics, the rescuers, the volunteers - those who sacrifice and give everything for their fellow human beings. I think of those who created schools in tents. The ones who play music to the displaced children, to bring a smile in the midst of pain and destruction. The chefs who are cooking meals en masse. And the smallest of children, tending to their siblings. The loss is enormous. But we have not lost our faith, or our collective humanity. This is the beauty I am talking about.’
