Faith in the Crosshairs: Christians Rising Against Christian Zionism
Online

Adalah Justice Project, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Christians for a Free Palestine invite you to join a conversation with Christian leaders and organizers reflecting on faith, justice, and solidarity with Palestine.

Across the U.S., Christian Zionism is receiving renewed political and financial backing through Israeli and U.S. state partnerships with churches, media campaigns, and targeted outreach efforts.

Churches are increasingly the focus of surveillance, tracking, and digital targeting, and some pastors are being recruited as ambassadors for Israel.

At the same time, significant cracks are widening within Christian communities — generational divides, theological debates, and growing numbers of people questioning how faith is being tied to state violence and empire.

In this moment, many Christians are charting a different path.

Food continues to be on our minds within St. Mary’s congressional district (13) which has over 220,000 members and neighbors enrolled in SNAP food benefits.

Our next food pantry will be on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.

Our Jessie and Connie Mae’s monthly food pantry, organized in collaboration with Love Wins NYC, is one collective effort that allows our neighbors access to healthy pantry staples and fresh produce.

Our volunteer base is slowly growing with new folks and alongside a consistent team of familiar faces. Together, we work to provide food to an average of 100+ of our neighbors every month.

Call for volunteers: If you are interested to volunteer with our food pantry, please email Rev. Mary Foulke rector@stmarysharlem.org to be added on our volunteer list.
We need hands for distributing food and for set up and clean up!
