What We Believe

"Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed."~Jim Wallis, Editor of Sojourners

Middle East Fellowship believes that we have to be more intentional about building relationships between North Americans and the Arab world.

We believe that we have been called to help begin a humane, compassionate and honest dialogue between the peoples of North America and the peoples of the Middle East.

We believe that Christians of conscience have an obligation to speak out on peace and social justice issues. From the abolition movement to the underground railroad and the Civil Rights movement, the church has played an important role in local campaigns for social justice throughout America's history.

We believe that Middle Eastern and North American Christians need to renew their bonds of trust, mutual need and fellowship. We believe that a deeper relationship between the churches of North America and the churches of the Middle East will result in benefits for both societies.
