Gaza is Burning by Clint Schnekloth 

"The cross we bear in this moment is the recognition that we may not be able to change our nation's foreign policy overnight. But silence would be worse.... 

If our words feel small, they are still necessary. If our prayers feel weak, they are still heard. And if our action feels insufficient, it is still part of God's call to bear witness in a time of burning."

MICAH’s question of the month - What does apartheid look like today? Apartheid today is active and evident in physical, emotional, and social separation between peoples and cultures that otherwise would enjoy the same physical space. The West Bank "Wall of Apartheid" is 440 miles long, “apartheid” roads you may drive only some may drive on, resource and utility allowances; ; these are all examples today in Palestine-Israel. 

Next month’s question: What is the Apartheid-Free movement?
