If you live in the Milton Keynes area you are invited to join in an online Christian book discussion about the book Blood Brothers: The Unforgettable Story of a Palestinian Working for Peace in Israel by Elias Chacour. (If you follow the link above it takes to to a pdf file where you can read the first bit of the book online.) Elias Chacour, a Palastinian Christian, is now Archbishop in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church and tells his own life story in a very powerful way.
On the Biblelands trip to the Holyland last October, our group had the privilege of meeting with Elias Chacour, hearing him tell his story and answer our questions. It was a highlight of the trip.
Peter B. & I had were inspired by Elias’ powerful vision for peace in the region. We thought his book would make good material for an online Christian book study. In this study we look forward to reflecting on this powerful book and sharing some of our experiences from our recent Holy land trip.
The online format allows you to read the book in your own time & not have to travel to weekly meetings. However, we will meet in person for the introductory and concluding sessions on:
Sunday the 17th of May at 3:30 pm
Sunday the 12th of July at 3:30 pm
In between these meetings, our discussions will take place on a private blog.
To reserve your place (and find out the location of the meetings) or for more information please comment here (and leave your email address) or contact me, Rev. Mindy, at revmindyatgmaildotcom. Please help us spread the word by telling your friends & others who might be interested.
We will have the book available for purchase at the introductory meeting.
