South Africans who stand in the prophetic tradition of the Kairos Document that came out of South Africa in the dark days of the anti-apartheid struggle and the first state of emergency in 1985, are the first to admit that the Palestinian Kairos called them to a moment of awareness of that prophetic tradition they seemed by and large to have forgotten. It was a reawakening of kairos in a community where the prophetic voice has not only been scarce, but even when hesitantly raised, also not gladly heard since the birth of a democratic South Africa in 1994. This holds true, I suggest, for the church in the United States as well, and perhaps elsewhere.1 It seems that every response to Kairos Palestine begins with some confession of guilt.KeywordsRacist SociImperial PowerLiberation TheologyTheological TraditionFeminist TheologyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
