Palestinian Christians refusing the cycle of hate
Emma Halgren is a UCA young adult currently serving as a Communications Intern with the World Council of Churches in Geneva,. Her article - published on May 1st - can be accessed here.
Interns work in a WCC programme for a one-year period. During this time, they gain work experience in an ecumenical field and are given the tools to take this back to the local level.
The second emphasis of the internship programme is on ecumenical formation and community-building: as a group, the interns learn how to work in a multicultural and multiconfessional environment.
Each intern also develops an ecumenical project to be implemented back in their home contexts.
By providing young people with a rich international experience of community-building, team work and ecumenical learning, this activity strengthens both local churches and the ecumenical movement as a whole.
