Israel reports by Bishop Julian Dobbs, CMJ USA board member, and Rev. David Pileggi, rector of Christ Church Jerusalem

In the first week of October, ACNA Archbishop Steve Wood dispatched Bishop Julian Dobbs, Chair of the Global Mission and International Relations Task Force, to visit Israel. Bishop Julian also serves on the board of CMJ USA.


Bishop Julian met with Jewish communities throughout Israel, Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, and families of those directly affected by the October 7, 2023 massacre.  Hear him recount his experience to Kevin Kallsen of Anglican Unscripted in the video below.


Bishop Julian call us to three actions in support of the suffering in the Middle East:

  • Pray for all the peoples of the Holy Land.
  • Be informed. Remember it is a personal tragedy before it is a political situation.
  • Stand against antisemitism. There is no place in the church or the world for antisemitism.
  • Remind others that there are still 100 hostages in Gaza.


A few days before, Kevin Kallsen also interviewed Rev. David Pileggi, the rector of Christ Church Jerusalem. Christ Church Jerusalem, founded my CMJ, is the oldest Protestant Christian community in the Middle East. In this interview, David gives his analysis of the on going Middle East conflict.

Jesus is Jewish. There are Jewish believers in the church. God loves the Jewish people
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.

CMJ USA Day of Giving - October 14

The LORD has continued to stretch us at CMJ USA in 2025. We're back on social media. We've launched Bridge Builders Essentials. The Emunah Course is nearly done. We are moving the direction the Lord has called us. God wants us to build bridges with our Jewish neighbors, and we are filling up the toolbox for you. Gathering and preparing resources like Bridge Builders Essentials, Jewish/Christian Ministry Guide, and the Emunah Course has a financial cost. As Director Emeritus Philip Bottomley reminds me, "The Lord pays for what he orders." But we also know that the Lord loves to use his saints to be conduits of his abundant provision. We are grateful for those of you who are regular givers. Thank you! You are integral partners. If you are not yet a financial partner, please prayerfully consider coming alongside us.
