In Holy Land visit, bishops encourage peaceful resistance to Israeli settlements

Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, N.M., kneels by a stone that reads "We Refuse To Be Enemies" Jan. 16 at the entrance to the Tent of Nations in the West Bank, near Bethlehem. Thirteen bishops from Europe and North America visited the area as part of the Holy Land Coordination.

TENT OF NATIONS, West Bank – Bishops from Europe and North America lauded this 100-year-old hilltop family farm southwest of Bethlehem as an example of the nonviolent resistance needed to oppose Israeli expansion onto Palestinian land.
