Palestine and Israel Network
The Palestine and Israel Network (PIN) is a volunteer association of working groups and individuals who seek to promote a just peace in the Holy Land. Our mandate is the Resolution on Palestine and Israel that was passed at the Mennonite Church Canada 2016 Assembly, in response to the call of Palestinian Christians. Connect with a working group in your regional church here.

Mennonite Church Canada PIN Update
Each month we send out a newsletter that includes an action call, a few brief updates, and links related to peace and justice in and prayer for Palestine and Israel. Subscribe to the monthly newsletter below.
PIN events and resources:

Pilgrimage and solidarity trips to Holy Land.
What you can do in advocacy.
"A Moment of Truth."
On November 14, at a conference in Bethlehem, Christian leaders in the Holy Land released a timely declaration ,“Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide”. Like Kairos Palestine's 2009 statement this one will be a core reference point for PIN in the coming weeks and months--a challenge to the global church to stand with Palestinians in their witness toward a just peace in Palestine.
