We are beginning a listening tour! Come look over our shoulders.

Get to know the Living Stones of Israel/Palestine through our ears and eyes as we blog our way through the country from May 6 – 19, 2015

Follow us as we meet Pilgrims of Ibillin’s partners in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Ramle, Ramallah, Zababdeh, and Ibillin. Hear from us as we visit organizations and leaders in the West Bank and in Israel who seek a nonviolent path to peace and justice.

We will also visit key biblical sites in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and the Galilee (including Nazareth), and learn why the Holy Land is known as ―the Fifth Gospel.

Experience Palestinian hospitality through our eyes and writings, including a home-stay in Zababdeh.

Get to know students and leaders at the Mar Elias Educational Institutions in Ibillin as we meet them.

Join us from afar as we visit with MEEI founder and peace activist Archbishop Elias Chacour.

Visit the destroyed village of Biram where Fr. Chacour was born and lived until 1948.

We will be returning home equipped to give presentations, and do invite us to share with you when we return, but for now please follow us as this pilgrimage unfolds.

We will be sharing a story of new friends – Christians, Muslims, Druze, and Jews – who live with hope and work for peace despite great challenges.
