Text:

Resolved, That the Executive Council recommends that one evening at the 75th General Convention be devoted to study and prayerful consideration of the issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how the Church supports the work of our partner church in the Diocese of Jerusalem and advocates for the peace process, which program would present facts about the situation that are not widely known in the United States and would include speakers and presentations by church groups working with the Diocese of Jerusalem and others holding views from all sides of the conflict, most particularly Palestinian Episcopalians and representatives of Israeli and Palestinian peace organizations, possibly also to include representatives supporting the positions of the Israeli and Palestinian governments; and be it further

Resolved, That the evening on Israel-Palestine should come as early in the Convention as is practicable to allow for consideration at the forum of any resolutions before the Convention on this subject.
