Insight to Palestine Tuesday 26th November 2019
As part of our on-going support for Caritas Jerusalem the parish hosted an information evening to discover the reality of day-to-day life for the indigenous population of the West Bank and Gaza. Around sixty people attended from Gidea Park, surrounding parishes and some other Christian denominations. The talk included an historical context and a Christ-centred perspective. Guests were able to ask questions and enjoyed a light supper with Middle Eastern theme. There was a desire to learn more about the situation and to support the plight of Palestinians by raising the profile of the issues within our community.
