April 1, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, Director of Churches for Middle East Peace. Rev. Dr. Cannon has just returned from a trio with Catholic Relief Services to Gaza which will be the focus of her presentation. She will also review CMEP’s advocacy work and how MEIG and area church groups might join advocacy efforts.
CMEP is a coalition of 27 Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant national church denominations and organizations encouraging U.S. government policies that actively promote a just, lasting and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ensuring security, human right, and religious freedom for all the people of the region.
An offering of $5 is suggested for each participant to offset Dr. Cannon’s travel expenses.
