Salam Aleikum - Welcome to Friends of Sabeel in Scandinavia!
Sabeel is a ecumenical grassroot movement that works among the Christian Palestinians. The name, Sabeel, is the Arabic word for 'the path', 'the chanel' or 'spring of life-giving water'.

From the perspective of a Palestinian theology of liberation, Sabeel aims to encourage women, men, and youth to discern what God is saying to them as their faith connects with the hard realities of their daily life: occupation, violence, discrimination and human rights violations.

Inspired by the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, Sabeel' s liberation theology seeks to deepen the faith of Palestinian Christians, to lead them to act for justice and love, to work for the unity and renewal of the church, and to transform society. Sabeel strives to promote a more accurate international awareness regarding the identity, presence, and witness of Palestinian Christians as well as their contemporary concerns.

International Friends of Sabeel (IFOS) support the work of Sabeel through education, advocacy, conferences, solidarity visits, partner-to-partner projects, and financial contributions. Regional chapters have been established creating a network of friends throughout the world who work in partnership with Sabeel to bring about a just and durable peace for Palestine and Israel.

The Friends of Sabeel in Scandinavia (FOSS) was established in August 2001 and has national chapters in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
