EAPPI - Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel
EAPPI volunteers seek to support local and international efforts to bring a resolution to the Israeli-Paestinian conflict with a just peace.
The EAPPI is a program of the World Council of Churches (WCC). In Australia, the National Council of Churches is coordinating Australian volunteers for EAPPI.
The EAPPI project was established following a visit to Palestine and Israel in 2001 the WCC held discussions and agreed to "develop an accompaniment programme that would include an international ecumenical presence".
Since 2002 volunteers have been trained in their country of origin and in Jerusalem to be placed as Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs) in the Occupied Territories. This is important work for which the local people and the international community are grateful.
