Dear Old and New Friends,
I've been away from my blog for quite a while.
I coordinated the Delaware Valley Interfaith Delegation to Israel/Palestine in March of 2008 and since our return the Muslim, Christian and Jewish members of our delegation have spoken to over sixty audiences sharing stories of all we heard on our Compasssionate Listening journey which was lead by Leah Green and Maha El-Taji. We are evolving into a new organization; the Interfaith Community for Middle East Peace and we plan to continue to bring the Children of Abraham together here in the United Stated as well as in Israel/Palestine to learn more about each other and to work collectively to promote Middle East Peace. It is a challenging time with all the death and destruction in Gaza, the rocket fire that is still entering the Negev, the reality of a new President and the coming reality of a new Israeli Prime Minister this week. There is much opportunity and many issues to face resolutely and overcome to move forward toward a viable two-state solution. I look forward to sending you announcements, stories from Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and even here in America. We are growing a new organization with a commitment to enhance understanding between the faiths and a shared focus on Middle East Peace. I will send you more information in the weeks ahead.
Shalom-Salaam-Peace,
Larry Snider
