A community of Christian leaders who advocate for pluralism in
the Middle East

Join the movement

We have a vision for a pluralistic Middle East based on freedom and the rule of law, where nations, tribes, and religious communities can live beside each other as neighbors.

To get there, we don’t pick sides or settle for easy answers. We develop relationships, explore difficult questions, and work to build a movement of principled, practical Christian engagement.
