Third group of EAs
June-September 2003
Twelve ecumenical
accompaniers (EAs) have been in the Occupied Territories since March 2003,
and will continue on the ground until the end of May. The second group of
volunteers to participate in a World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment
Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), they come from Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA.
Bridge-building, solidarity
and witness are the focus for this diverse group of people. As Israel
announces that it will bar peace activists from entry and deport them,
those who have responded to the call to advocate for justice are finding
their place in an increasingly hostile environment of unabated assassinations,
home demolitions, siege and suicide bombings.
