Show Notes

On May 12, 80 people gathered at St. David’s during the formation hour to consider how to respond faithfully and well to the ongoing crises in Palestine and Israel today. See the accompanying handout referenced in the podcast.

The Rev. Canon Leyla King provided a way into the conversation about the current realities through the lens of her family’s experiences as Palestinian Christians. Her stories helped us learn about the underlying roots of the conflict from a historical and political perspective and equipped us to think and speak more compassionately about current events and future hopes in the Holy Land. Canon King challenged those of us in the Episcopal Church to speak out on the history of colonialism in Palestine and the system of apartheid that exists in the region today. She also encouraged us to study the Kairos Palestine document

Holy Conversations is an offering of the Adult Formation program at St. David’s on the second Sunday of each month, which focuses on a current event or issue from the perspective of our faith as Episcopalians.
