On the evening of Tuesday (Dec. 10), Christian leaders from a variety of denominations and organizations gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., to take part in an “Advent Not Arms” prayer vigil for peace. The event, sponsored by Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP), coincided with International Human Rights Day and served as a call for Christians around the world to stand for justice and dignity for Gaza and all people in the Middle East.
