Bearing Witness
Bearing Witness is a free, video-based study program that shares the stories of people living in Palestine and Israel and the remarkable ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem that bring hope and healing in this volatile part of the world.
A diverse group of Palestinians and Israelis share their stories to help us understand the realities of life in the Holy Land and the conditions that create the urgent need for the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem’s schools, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers.
Bearing Witness is developed by the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem (AFEDJ). AFEDJ provides ongoing support for churches and faith-based organizations in their implementation of the program.
