Malcolm Hedding

Malcolm Hedding (born 1952) is a South African anti-apartheid activist, theologian, evangelical minister, and Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ).

As a young ordained minister with the South African Assemblies of God, Hedding confronted the apartheid system from the pulpit and was forced to flee his homeland.

By contrast, he says, it was a tiny minority in South Africa that held power and once democracy came, the Nationalist Party that had dominated the masses disappeared.

Evangelicals defend their right to live in peace and security in land of Canaan, support that comes out of a sense of gratitude for what we've received.

"[5] Hedding believes Israel proven its desire to reach a settlement with the Palestinians, while granting political rights to its Arab citizens within a democratic system.
