A Conversation with Rev. Fadi Diab and the Guibord Center
The evening begins with worship.
The Choir of St. John’s Cathedral will offer a service of Choral Evensong. The service will feature Herbert Howells’ Collegium Regale evening service, Philip Moore’s anthem All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and Preces & Responses by Christopher Gravis.
After the Evensong service, we will be hosting a conversation with the Rev. Fadi Diab and the Guibord Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue about important issues and learn from respected voices in our community. Following the conversation, we will be sharing a simple meal together.
We are so grateful to Fr. Lee Walker for suggesting this wonderful idea.

He is also the Rector of a sister parish to St. Andrew's, St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Birzeit, which is constructing a retirement home and senior center.

This raid was condemned by the Diocese of Jerusalem and international organizations.
