In a time of unimaginable violence in the Middle East, how can the Church imagine a future reconciliation? What wisdom can Christians gain from Jewish, Muslim, and Middle Eastern Christian concepts of justice?
Join us for a conversation with Palestinian Christian Salim Munayer about his latest book, Reconciling Justice: Concepts of Justice in the Multireligious Context of Palestine/Israel. We’ll be talking about justice in each of the three Abrahamic faiths and how it relates specifically to the Palestinian/Israeli context today.
We’ll end our conversation with a time of audience Q&A.
12pm EST / 7pm Palestine
Dr. Munayer is an author, peacebuilder, and the founder and Senior Consultant of Musalaha Vision of Reconciliation, an organization dedicated to fostering reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians since 1990.
