The Holy Land Peace & Justice Committee is dedicated to a more just existence for all people in the Holy Land. Last year, St. Andrew’s sponsored the Summer of Palestinian Visibility. We invited scholars and activists to our Sunday coffee hour speaker series and presented a film series depicting current life in the Holy Land.
Our group met with staff of both of our U.S. Senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, to express our concern about the effect of the siege on Gaza on the Palestinians as well as the increased violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank. We asked for their support in halting the killing and destruction and to do what they could to get sufficient food and medical aid to all those who need it.
We meet about once a month and welcome new members to our group. Please contact the parish office if you want to be involved with our efforts: 206-523-7476 or saintandrews@saintandrewsseattle.org
