‘Being Christian in Today’s Middle East’ is topic of ‘Intellectual Feast’

“Being Christian in Today’s Middle East” is the topic for our next “Intellectual Feast” this afternoon (Tuesday).

What is life like for Christians in the modern Middle East? Is being a Christian in Palestine, Syria, Egypt, or Iraq more of an ethnic/racial distinction or a term to describe a “committed follower of Jesus”? What can we in the United States learn from our Christian brothers and sisters in the geographic location where our faith began?

George Fox student Moses Nijmeh (from Bethlehem) will be joined by friends from the Middle East to address these questions and more at our next feast, scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Hoover second-floor lounge.

Refreshments will be provided; the campus community is invited. The event is sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies. Contact Paula Hampton (ext. 2650) for more information.
