Join us for a discussion with Daoud Nassar, a Palestinian Christian farmer and the director of the Tent of Nations Project. Located on the Nassar family’s 100-acre farm and orchard outside of Bethlehem in the West Bank, The Tent of Nations has become an international peace center attracting hundreds of visitors annually. International visitors, including many Israelis, join together to plant trees, harvest olives and fruit, teach at the Women’s Education Center, lead activities in Summer Children’s Camps, and work together in pursuit of a just peace through non-violent action. With a mission to build bridges of understanding, reconciliation, and peace between people and the land, the Tent of Nations has this sign at the entrance to the farm proclaiming, “We Refuse to Be Enemies.”

Sponsored by Progressive Peace Coalition, Jewish Voice for Peace Central Ohio, Broad Street United Methodist Church, and Fotonna [an organization that provides support to the West Bank through the Tent of Nations].
