It was hoped that this immersion would enable them to reflect on both the motivation and method of mission in different parts of the globe and bring this reflection back to their own contexts. http://www.cwmission.org/programme-areas/empowerment-and-training/ Specifically, this Programme Faith in the Face of Empire: Face to Face in the context of Occupation aims to study some of the most important historical, theological and contemporary issues related to the Middle East in general and in Israel and Palestine in particular. The participants will come face to face with the issues on Occupation and how discrimination and inequality, military occupation and systematic oppression are the rule. This will also provide them opportunities to engage in a global dialogue on theology, spirituality and mission through intercultural exchange and theological reflection that would enable them to reflect on doing mission in the context of Empire.
