Bearing Witness: Stories from Palestine

Bearing Witness: Stories of Faith, Accompaniment, and Hope from Palestine and the Middle East/North Africa. In person at HTLakeview and on Zoom. Zoom link will be distributed to registered attendees before the event.

An opportunity to meet and hear from Shadin Nassar, Middle East and North Africa Regional Associate at the ELCA’s Washington, D.C., office. Join Ms. Nassar for a conversation exploring the realities, challenges, and Sumud (“resilience”) of Christian communities across the Middle East and North Africa, with particular attention to Palestine.

Drawing on both personal experience as a Palestinian Christian and her work accompanying church partners throughout the region, Shadin will share stories of faith and accompaniment, offering a deeper understanding of the people, ministries, and relationships that shape the ELCA’s companion church partnerships. Ms. Nassar is a daughter of the family that hosts the Tent of Nations.
