Comment from UTT:

 
The World Council of Churches leads the way in the attack against Israel. This should be no surprise in light of the fact that we are in the last days and anti-semetic views are on the upswing.
In a final document, "The Bern Perspective," delegates agreed that the Bible "must not be utilized to justify oppression or supply simplistic commentary on contemporary events."
It goes on to state that Christians should differentiate between biblical history and biblical stories as well as the Israel of the Bible and the modern state of Israel.
“Let us continue to critically and creatively examine notions of the 'Promised Land,' rediscovering in the Bible and in our traditions life-giving metaphors for promoting justice, peace, reconciliation and forgiveness for the fullness of the earth and all its inhabitants,” the document states.

September 16 - 'Promised Land' Conference Gives Fresh Perspective on Israel-Palestine Conflict

Article: Israel And The Last Days
 

The World Council of Church's "Promised Land" conference has thrown up fresh theological perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In a final document, "The Bern Perspective," delegates agreed that the Bible "must not be utilized to justify oppression or supply simplistic commentary on contemporary events."

“Let us continue to critically and creatively examine notions of the 'Promised Land,' rediscovering in the Bible and in our traditions life-giving metaphors for promoting justice, peace, reconciliation and forgiveness for the fullness of the earth and all its inhabitants,” the document states.

Some of the participants said their views had been changed by “constructive confrontation” during the conference, hosted by the Swiss Protestant Federation and Reformed Churches from Bern, Jura and Solothurn.

Conference delegates agreed that Christians in Palestine-Israel could make positive contributions to the process of healing that has taken place between Jews and Christians in Europe and North America, and raised the possibility of beginning similar dialogues with Muslims.

The conference ended with an ecumenical service in which Palestinian theologian Fr. Jamal Khader highlighted the importance of peace in Jerusalem, describing it as the home of the world’s three major religions. “Peace begins in Jerusalem and shines forth into the world from there,” he said.
