The CCJ Chairman’s  Study Tour of Israel  is a response to  the complexities of the Israel/Palestine conflict.  The intensive 7-day Study Tour is intended to help Church leaders and Church opinion formers view the situation through direct  interface with  all sides in the conflict. The  opinions and views  that the  delegates  come across  will be varied and surprising , shocking and enlightening, some will generate  hope, some may lead to despair.  

 

The delegates travel  the whole length of Israel and experience the crossings.  They meet ordinary people, faith leaders, politicians, Christians and  Jews and Muslims, Palestinians and Israelis.     

 

The delegates are encouraged to meet two to three months after the  Study Tour to share together  their thinking,  reflection and  even their struggles with the realities of what they have seen and experienced.  They are encouraged to write, speak and include these reflections in their preaching.
