Healing in the Land

While politicians tear things apart, there are places where Christians, Jews, and Muslims do work together and make a better world.  Nazareth Academic Institute (NEA) is a college where this is happening.

 

Abraham’s Children, our church’s support group for NEA, is raising funds to supply medical equipment for Holy Family Hospital, in Nazareth, who in partnership with the College, offers opportunities for medical training to its students.

First Pres Wheaton will host the sole fundraiser for this effort in 2012, a one-act play “We Belong to the Land” performed by actor/director Bruce Bradley, based on the book by Father Elias Chacour, whose dream is to bring all three religions together in this volatile environment.
