Overview

In this exceptionally violent and unpredictable time in Palestine, instead of its planned conference, Sabeel Jerusalem organized a Solidarity Pilgrimage. This took place last November 17-21. A total of 49 pilgrims gathered, from the UK, the USA, and about 15 participants from Canada, representing Mennonite, United Church, Presbyterian, Anglican and Quaker faiths. In this webinar you will hear some of their stories, thoughts and analysis.
