Financial Aid Offered for Travel to Israel and Palestine

Middle East PeaceThe Paul A. Hopkins Education Travel Fund was established by the Presbytery Peacemaking Committee in 2006, to provide assistance for travel and conferences with Christians, Jews and Muslims in Israel and Palestine. Since its inception, the Fund has supported the travel of nearly 20 individuals to the West Bank and Israel, including 8 who have already registered to attend the 9th International Sabeel Conference, November 19-25 in Jerusalem (and, if they wish, add an additional four days of travel beyond the Jerusalem-Bethlehem area).

Others (clergy and lay) in the Presbytery may apply for such scholarship assistance. Pre-travel meetings for participants are being arranged in the coming months, to share Conference background, group-building and general travel details For further information, contact Rev. David V. Yeaworth (610-525-2776), (dandgyeaworth@verizon.net).
