CHURCHES FOR MIDDLE EAST PEACE (CMEP) TO HOLD SPECIAL BRIEFING
ABOUT THE WAR ON GAZA AT WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

What: Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, the executive director of Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP), will host a briefing and community conversation in Delaware on Christian responses to current events in Gaza and broader Israel/Palestine. The briefing will follow morning worship and is open to the Westminster community and the general public. 

Since October 7th, CMEP has called for (1) a permanent bilateral ceasefire, (2) the allowance of adequate humanitarian assistance into Gaza, (3) the release of all Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners held without cause, (4) demilitarization, including no additional U.S. arms sales to Israel, (5) for the root causes of the occupation to be addressed. These positions reflect our desire for an end to the atrocities we have seen perpetuated in Gaza and our broader call for the rights and dignity of all people in the Holy Land to be upheld. 

When: Sunday, June 16th, 10:40-11:40 AM EST

Where: Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1502 W 13th St, Wilmington, DE 19806

Quote: “After more than eight months of intense violence and more than 37,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, it is long overdue for all atrocities to be brought to an immediate end. Christians must join the chorus of millions worldwide saying ‘enough is enough’ and using their voices to push their government officials to prioritize pursuing peace over prolonging the war.” –– Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, Executive Director, Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP)
