Venue: Farm Street Church, 114 Mount Street, London, W1K 3AH or online via YouTube
Friends of the Holy Land invite you to join the Rector of the Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Jerusalem, Fr John Paul SJ, to hear first-hand insights on the current situation and the growing ecumenical voice of Christians in the Holy Land as a powerful catalyst for hope and reconciliation.
Although the Christian communities represent only 2% of the population, the depth of their presence and pastoral outreach can counter rising polarisation. The event will also explore how Christians in the UK can support their voice.
