The George Fox Civility Project invites you to hear from a Palestinian Christian who’s working on a significant civility project.

The two-part series with Jonathan Kuttab begins tomorrow (Thursday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom. He will be speaking on the topic “Civility, Justice, and a Bill of Rights: A Vision of Israel/Palestine as One State.” Please register for the event here. SpiL credit is available for students.
 
Kuttab has an ambitious vision. For the first part of the series, he will discuss what politics in Israel and Palestine must look like in the long term for two traumatized groups to live safely, justly, and peaceably side by side in a small country.

On Wednesday, March 31, he will focus on civility-boosting transformations needed now for Palestinians and Israelis to negotiate a one-state solution.
 
According to George Fox Civility Project director Ron Mock, “Kuttab’s transformative project could teach us critically needed lessons about civility, justice, and political peacemaking. George Fox needs to be right in the middle of all that learning.”
  
If you would like to be connected to the Civility Project, please email Ron (civility@georgefox.edu) or visit the Civility Project website.

We all have important stories to share about isolation and belonging. Often, these stories involve overcoming hardship and adversity in order to reach a place of security.

Starting today (Wednesday), the Sources of Strength team will be releasing a series of interviews with George Fox students, professors and alumni regarding their experiences with this idea of belonging in their own lives.

What obstacles did they face and how did they surmount them? If they were to do it again, how might they approach belonging differently – and how can anyone hope to find belonging amidst a global pandemic?

Join us every Wednesday to hear about your community’s strengths and become encouraged and challenged to discover your own. Listen on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, or Spotify!
