For those willing to experience Advent in a more sobering way this year, we'll be diving into Munther Isaac's Christ in the Rubble. The cover of the book is from Isaac's church in Bethlehem who chose to illustrate Christ buried under rubble to decry the war in Gaza.

We will be meeting twice in early December - once to discuss the book in its entirety, and once to listen to Shadia Qubti, a Palestinian lived theologian from Nazareth who has spent 15 years working in peacebuilding and advocacy.

WHERE: Both evenings will be in the lounge.

WHEN:

• Tuesday, December 2 at 7:00 pm - book discussion

• Tuesday, December 9 at 7:00 pm - in conversation with Shadia Qubti

If you'd like the office to order you a book, there will be a $30 charge per book to help defray some of the costs.
