The Bonhoeffer Declaration
You signed the Declaration.
Now put it into action.
You made a commitment not to remain silent in the face of antisemitism. But signing the Declaration was never meant to be the end. It is an invitation to take the next step.
Where will you begin?
There is no single way to live out the commitment you made. Some of us are called to pray more intentionally. Others want to learn, speak out or build stronger relationships with the Jewish community.
Explore the paths below and find the place that speaks most to you.
Pray
Prayer is one of the most important ways Christians can stand with Jerusalem, Israel and the Jewish people.
Begin by praying with greater understanding and purpose.
- Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
- Pray for Jewish communities facing antisemitism around the world.
- Pray for wisdom and protection for the people and leaders of Israel.
- Pray for innocent people affected by war, terrorism and hatred.
- Pray for stronger relationships between Christians and Jews.
Learn
Standing against antisemitism begins with understanding.
Learn more about the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, the history of Christian antisemitism, the modern State of Israel and why the relationship between Christians and the Jewish people matters.
Eagles’ Wings created Watchmen on the Wall to help Christians build a stronger biblical and historical foundation and become better equipped to pray, understand and speak with confidence.
START LEARNINGSpeak
Refusing to remain silent does not mean being the loudest voice in the room. It means being prepared to speak with truth, courage and clarity when it matters.
You can begin by learning how to recognize antisemitism, respond to misinformation and become a thoughtful advocate in your church, community and relationships.
- Learn to recognize antisemitism when you see it.
- Understand common myths and misinformation about Israel and the Jewish people.
- Speak up when Jewish neighbors or communities are targeted.
- Share reliable information with your church and community.
Build Relationships
One of the strongest answers to antisemitism is genuine relationship.
For too much of history, Jews and Christians have lived with distance, misunderstanding and distrust between our communities. We have the opportunity to change that.
Building authentic relationships with Jewish neighbors and leaders can turn a declaration into something personal, lasting and real.
SOLIDARITY SUNDAY
This is where Eagles’ Wings comes in.
Helping Christians turn conviction into action.
For more than three decades, Eagles’ Wings has helped Christians reconnect with the Jewish roots of our faith, build authentic relationships with the Jewish community, pray for Jerusalem and stand with Israel.
The commitments you made when you signed the Bonhoeffer Declaration are not separate from this work. They are a natural place to begin.
Wherever you begin, we want to help you take the next step.
