The Apartheid-Free team at Heart of the Rockies will be hosting an educational hour on Sunday, June 1 at 9 a.m. in Room 1. We will share what it means to be a congregation that has signed onto the Apartheid-Free pledge. The Apartheid-Free network is a coalition of faith communities and all communities of conscience who pledge to work together to end Israeli apartheid (https://apartheid-free.org/).

We will discuss the definition of Apartheid and how it relates to the actions of Israel towards the Palestinian people. And we will review how our congregation was involved in presenting resolution GA-2339 at the The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) General Assembly in 2023, which led to our denomination signing onto the pledge, review how our Board signed onto the pledge one year ago, and discuss how we might respond as a congregation going forward. We hope you can join us.
