VPP LIVE: From the Last Christian Town in Palestine
The Jason Jones Show
In this episode, I speak with Father Bashar Fawadleh, a Palestinian Catholic priest serving in Taybeh, Palestine — the last entirely Christian town in the West Bank — as the community prepares for the Marian Festival celebrating the closing of the Marian month. We discuss the challenges facing Palestinian Christians, the growing threat of settler violence, and the importance of preserving the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Father Bashar shares how the people of Taybeh remain rooted in faith despite immense hardship and why the world should stand in solidarity with these ancient Christian communities.
