Topic: Crisis in the Middle East

In the place of Jesus’ birth, turmoil and tragedy are once again destroying lives, hopes, and dreams. “How long, O Lord?” We long to alleviate suffering and sow seeds for “a future with hope,” but our best efforts are hampered by the need to name who is right and who is wrong. Join us on the Feast of Epiphany as Dr. Peter Makari shines some light on this complicated situation.
