February 17, 2023 Through the Eyes of Women: A Journey to Palestine and Israel


A few months ago, Dumbarton parishioner Ginny Lapham and former parishioner Rev. Amy Stapleton traveled with women from the US, Ireland, and Canada on a tour of Palestine and Israel.  They met with Israeli and Palestinian women, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian, working to promote peace and understanding in this dangerous environment.  Most of the women traveling with Ginny and Amy were new to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and many identified as members of evangelical churches.  With Amy joining us by Zoom from Colorado, where she now pastors a church, Ginny and Amy will share their experiences and discuss the social, political, and economic realities facing women in the region today.  To learn more, join us on November 20 at 10 a.m., in person at 3133 Dumbarton St. NW or by Zoom, dialing 301-715-8592 and punching in Meeting ID:  823 2708 4830 and Passcode:  801277.   If you can’t attend on this Sunday, a video recording of this session should be available on our YouTube Adult Education Playlist a few days afterward.
