International Council of Christians and Jews (ICCJ) |
Webinar: The Consequences of Conflicts Overseas at Home
Ed Kessler will reflect on the impact of international conflicts, particularly but not only in the Middle East. These conflicts are a major challenge to Jewish-Christian relations today, as well as to the wider Abrahamic encounter.
Ed will discuss ways Jews and Christians, far beyond the areas of conflict, should respond.
