St. John's Adult Formation - Christian Pilgrimage in the Holy Land: Critical Perspectives

Wednesday, May 24 at 7pm (In person and on Zoom)

In this session, participants will be invited to a virtual tour of Christian holy sites in the Holy Land through the lens of pilgrimage, including holy sites in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, Nazareth, where Jesus grew up, and Jerusalem, where Jesus died. In addition to discussing holy sites, we will explore larger socio-political contexts surrounding the sites, including history of tension and cooperation between and among Christian communities. 

St. John's Adult Formation - Holy Sites of Israel/Palestine: Interfaith Tensions and Cooperation in the 21st century

Wednesday, May 24 at 7pm (In person and on Zoom)

In this session, participants will take a virtual tour of holy sites from different religious groups from Israel/Palestine. In addition to viewing images of these sites, we will hear stories of people from diverse cultural, religious, and language groups as they navigate life in this unequal but pluralistic society. We will consider anecdotes that reveal the mind and hopes of individuals we encountered in Israel/Palestine in connection to their faith. These stories reveal a glimpse of the faith tradition as well as the imprint of that faith on the land.
