of Ibillin Feast- May 16, 2003
| Father Abuna Elias Chacour, founder of the Mar
Elias (Prophet Elijah) schools in northern Israel,
was a guest at our church on Friday, May 16. At
a Middle Eastern dinner, co-hosted by Friends Across
the Generations and Pilgrims of Ibillin, nearly
350 people filled Stewart Hall and contributed $10,000
to Father Chacour’s work. His school (currently
for grades K-12) is the only one in Israel where
Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze learn side
by side. Thanks to all who helped make this event
possible. Peace, as Father Chacour reminded us,
will be built on the desktops of children. |
