I will be attending the "Christ at the Checkpoint" conference this week, so my time will be quite constrained - it goes on until 11:30pm tomorrow, and the blog may be limited by that.
The conference has been very contentious in the local news and it will be interesting to see if this carries over into the content. I intend to use this week to validate my thoughts on how to approach advocacy when I return.
Listening to Ilan Pappe (Israeli historian and socialist activist currently at the University of Exeter) this week (on video) last October. He said that there is not a single British politician who will publicly stand up for Palestine. It seems there are not many Bishops in our Church who will do this either, so there is a long, long way to go.
