Session 2: Why does this feel so complicated?: Protests, Cease-fire, and Two-States
During the Spring of 2024, numerous college and university campuses became hubs of protest, with various calls for freedom and justice for Palestine. Demonstrators urged for economic pressure on Israel and a statement calling for a ceasefire. This session aims to foster discussion on the political dynamics of Israel-Palestine by exploring the diverse histories, theologies, and experiences that influence positions.

Chaplains are interfaith/interreligious leaders who work to support human dignity and advocate spiritual integrity within institutional and community settings. This session will bring together spiritual leaders and chaplains to discuss the challenges of navigating entrenched, complicated issues that provoke individual and collective disintegration. The conversation will invite reflections on topics like the spirituality of violence and the spirituality of resistance. With commitments to ending isolation while being sensitive to the dynamics of moral injury, chaplains mediate across religious differences and advocate commonality.
