Arrival of Andria Bannourah from Mission to the USA program
Sunday, October 19, 2014
Westminster Presbyterian Church will welcome Andria Bannourah, a 27-year old man from Bethlehem, Palestine on Sunday October 19 as part of the Synod of the Covenant Mission to the USA program. Andria lives with his family in Bethlehem where he is a medical engineer and is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church. Motivated by his faith and volunteer work through his church, he is an active member of the Palestine Youth Movement where he mentors young people, and he actively works to address the political situation in Israel/Palestine by improving relationships among all peoples, Christians, Jews, and Muslims. He also works to alleviate poverty and addresses issues related to living under occupation. As part of the Christian community in Palestine, Andria will bring a unique perspective to Westminster as he shares with us what life is like in the West Bank under Israeli Occupation.
During his time in Wooster, Andria will also share his perspective on the Kairos Palestine document, a statement from Palestinian Christians speaking strongly against the illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the oppression of its people. Andria will be with us for three weeks until November 6th after which he will leave for home.
