A Reading with Author Don Wagner— Glory to God in the Lowest: Journeys to an Unholy Land

September 23, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 7:30 P.M., Leffler House 

The Saint Mark’s Mideast Focus Ministry and the Bishop’s Committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land present this event with Donald E. Wagner, the author of five previous books on Palestinian rights, who has served as National Director of the Palestine Human Rights Campaign (1980-89), was Director of Middle East Programs for Mercy Corps International (1990-94), and was co-founder of Evangelicals for Middle East Understanding. His new memoir is a personal, political, and religious journey from Evangelical Christian faith and conservative politics to solidarity with the poor and advocacy for anti-war, anti-racism, and Palestinian rights. Filled with stories—some humorous and some shocking—as well as encounters with people of every race, gender, and religious affiliation working below the radar, this book will inspire, challenge, and offer a narrative that envisions a transformed “unholy land,” where justice, liberation, and equality for all is the reality for every citizen.
