She completed a Religious Studies and Psychology degree at Bethlehem University in 2013 and has done courses of study at Diaconal College in Denmark and in Greece through Georgetown University. She speaks Arabic, English and a bit of French. She has training in international human rights, international humanitarian law and conflict resolution.

During the service the Presbyterian Church (USA) Peace and Global Witness offering will be collected.
At Westminster we invite you to join us in worship that promises to be warm, welcoming, and accepting. At Westminster we give voice to a progressive Christianity drawing from our Presbyterian heritage and strive to create a safe place for all people to explore their faith, regardless of ethnicity, creed, age, cultural background, or sexual identity. We seek to give authentic expression to our faith as it relates to our daily lives and contemporary culture. Our worship is made relevant through sermons, prayers, music, readings (biblical, ancient and contemporary), guest speakers, and participation from the congregation. In our desire to be welcoming and inclusive we have an all gender restroom that is handicap accessible on the same level as our worship space.
