Steadfast Hope: The Palestinian Quest for Just Peace
Pax Christi MetroWest and Mass. Peace Action are sponsoring a 3-part Study Group about the Palestine / Israel conflict, based on research by scholars in both America and the Middle East.
The conflict in the Middle East, especially Israel / Palestine, is currently often in our news media. But most Americans do not know the history and current realities of this conflict, and as importantly, steps toward peace in the region that we can take locally.
The Study Group discussions will focus on the informative book, Steadfast Hope: The Palestinian quest for Just Peace and a companion DVD. These resources are researched, written, and published by the national Episcopalian and Presbyterian churches.
This 46 page booklet and DVD will be available prior to the start of each 3-series meetings. Each discussion meeting will take about 90 minutes.
Currently a new Study Group will meet at the Xaverian House of Prayer / Fatima Shrine in Holliston on three Friday afternoons at 4 PM, usually lasting a bit over an hour.
November 30, December 7, and December 14.
101 Summer Street Holliston, MA 01746
The purpose of the Pax Christi MetroWest group is to work toward peace, justice, and equality with a special focus on Palestine / Israel. We do this by:
- Educating ourselves and others about nonviolent ways toward peace, especially in the Middle East and
- Taking prayer-based action based on the facts we have learned.
