Religion & Mideast Peace

Erik Guzman January 18th, 2008

girlbyfence.jpgIt's obvious that religion is a stumbling block on the road to peace in the Middle East, but can it have a positive impact? The founder and director of The Bethlehem Christmas Project, Ali Elhajj thinks so.

Join Steve and Ali as they talk about the effort to reconcile Palestinian and Israeli Christians and deliver gifts to special needs children of all faiths in Bethlehem.

Who knows, maybe Ali's work to facilitate understanding, forgiveness, healed relationships, and the message of unity with God and each other, could be the seeds of Mideast peace. Then again, we could all die in a holy war. It's hard to tell.

Great show! I went to Bethlehem with Ali and Jennifer (& baby Jonah)….have to say they are great people. Steve, you are right, they do have a heart for this project and I was very impressed with their dedication. I was so moved by the Palestinians that I met in Bethlehem, they were so kind, generous and such gracious people- I will definitely return. Regarding safety, you should not be concerned- I felt extremely safe during the entire trip. I think Orlando is a more dangerous place! I cant wait to see the documentary and looking forward to returning to Israel/Palestine.

Glad you're engaging with these issues Steve. We work with Christians in Bethlehem to find markets for their products, but it is hard work.

[...] Also, Ali briefly answered the question: ''Isn't this project naive? Can BCP really make any sort of a difference?" You can find the audio of the show here. [...]
