An Incurable Wound?

Eye-witness accounts of the life of Christians in the Holy Land with Alessandra Buzzetti, TV journalist in Jerusalem, Fr. David Grenier, O.F.M., commissary of the Holy Land for the United States, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Parish in Gaza, and other Christians from Gaza and the West Bank, moderated by Riro Maniscalco, Encounter’s president

There is no lack of daily opinions, comments, and analyses on what has been happening in the Holy Land since October 7, 2023. But what is the experience of Christians living in that tortured region? Is there a distinctive judgment about the war between Israel and Hamas stemming from their faith? Speakers, either in person or via video, will bring their perspective on the day-to-day life in the Holy Land and allow us to look at that reality through their eyes.
