Christian Principles & the Gaza Crisis

The Holy Land Committee of St. John’s Norwood invites you to hear the Rev. Dr. Mae Cannon, Executive of Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP), speak about the Christian principles that should inform our engagement in the Gaza crisis. Her talk will be followed by a time for audience Q&A.

The session will take place on Sunday, July 21, starting at 11:30 am, in the Parish Hall of St. John’s Norwood in Chevy Chase. It will also be accessible via Zoom.

Rev. Cannon possesses a deep intellectual understanding of the scriptures and the commitment to lead in accordance with scriptural principles to address conflict and injustice. She has published several books on social justice activism, including Social Justice Handbook, Just Spirituality, and A Land Full of God.

St. John’s Norwood is a local church partner of CMEP and the Episcopal Church is a board member denomination.

We welcome all to attend! Please share the word with any family or friends who may be interested in peace—in its holistic meaning of well-being and completeness for all—in Israel and Palestine.
