Al-Taybeh is home to the 5th-century Church of St. George, still in use by the indigenous Palestinian Christian community. Recently, Israeli settlers attempted to set it ablaze.

For our latest Voices piece, @xabueid writes powerfully about what it means. https://t.co/ZPJKSPyO4c

Grateful for the voice of @BrianKaylor: "Even in a time of wars and rumors of wars, may we hold up the prophetic dream of an end to war. And may we also stand up against those who do violence to Scripture in order to justify violence against people."
