*Talking about Israel and Palestine: Invitation to a Gathering for Clergy and Lay Leaders
March 22 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 2025, 9 A.M.–2 P.M., Bloedel Hall
An event of the Episcopal Bishop’s Committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land of the Diocese of Olympia
Preaching and discussing the question of Palestine raises a range of concerns for church leaders. These include the issues of antisemitism and the meaning of the biblical promises to the Jewish people in today’s world. On Saturday, March 22, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., we invite you to join us for a half-day gathering where you will hear from a range of voices, including Palestinian clergy, members of the Seattle Jewish community and interdenominational leaders working for a just peace in the Holy Land. You also will have the opportunity engage in “table” conversation with your colleagues and learn about resources for ongoing learning and discussion.
