Resisting Hate

Holy Covenant,

Earlier this week, a violent and antisemitic attack took place in Boulder, Colorado. A man entered a peaceful event organized by members of a local Jewish community in support of hostages still being held in Gaza. And in the aftermath six people were injured, including a Holocaust survivor. This attack is the third in a recent string of violent acts against Jewish people in just the past two months.

Christianity has a long and painful history of antisemitism. From theological teachings that have wrongly blamed Jewish people for the death of Jesus, to attacks on Jewish communities during the Crusades, several historical persecutions and massacres, and ultimately the Holocaust, Christians have too often been complicit in, or silent about, the persecution of our Jewish siblings.

Yet ironically…

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Christopher Czarnecki

Senior Pastor, Holy Covenant UCC
