Livestream Event - Faith Among the RuinsNext Sunday at 12 noon I am extending the invitation to all of you to join a livestream event from the Riverside Church * in New York City - Faith Among the Ruins with Lutheran Palestinian pastor Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac. Based on his book, Christ in the Rubble, Pastor Munther Isaac will offer his perspective on faith, hope and resilience amidst the devastation of conflict and occupation in Palestine. The event will take the form of a conversation between Rev. Isaac and Rev. Mira Sawlani-Joyner, Minister for Justice, Advocacy and Change at Riverside Church. The conversation will explore the central themes of his book, reflecting on how the presence of Christ sustains us in the most challenging times. This is an opportunity to engage deeply with questions of faith, justice, and the pursuit of peace. Registration for the event is required. I (Pastor Vida) will facilitate this, but I need to know how many from Gloria Dei would like to join the event. Please email me if you would like to be added to the registration list. (We will set up the TV in the fireside room for the livestream.) If you cannot join us at Gloria Dei, you can still view the livestream from your location. However, you will need to register on your own at this link. There is a cost of $15.00US per person. https://www.trcnyc.org/event/faithamidtheruins/ Please remember that the posted time of 3:00PM on the registratiomn page is for the Eastern Time Zone. We will be viewing the livestream at 12noon Pacific Time. ________________________________________________________________________________________ * Riverside Church has a long history of social justice and a vision of being an "interdenominational, interracial, and international" church.
