Christians in the Holy Land: Seeking a Just and Lasting Peace

Nelson United Church will sponsor an information session on Israel – Palestine on Saturday, December 14th from 1 – 2:30 p.m. We will show the documentary “The Stones Cry Out” and hear from Amira Musallam, a Christian leader living in Bethlehem. There will be an opportunity to write advocacy letters.
The aim is to deepen people’s knowledge and awareness of the lived reality of the Christian community in the Holy Land, particularly during the last 14 months. Canadian Christian leaders including the United Church Moderator Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, have urged people to actively advocate for a just peace in Palestine and Israel, especially during this holiday season. Many long to do so but feel paralyzed by the lack of knowledge and unsure of how to make a positive difference. If this is you, this is the presentation you have been waiting for.
Admission Fee: $10 or by donation
Donations will go to Sabeel, a Palestinian Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre (https://sabeel.org/)
