Bishop Munib Younan has been a tireless voice for peace with justice. He needs to be heard globally, especially by people in the U.S.
Bishop Younan speaks on behalf of the voiceless and the marginalized. An authentic Christian voice in the Middle East promoting values of the Kingdom.
Given the power of the Almighty God and the connection of all three religions dating back to Abraham, let us ask the top leaders of these religions to come together earnestly in prayer to beseech the Lord for lasting peace. The first session could be held in a neutral place, followed by sessions in a synagogue first, then a church and then a mosque (the order in which the religions were established;on which there is universal agreement). Finally, they gather again in a neutral place and pray together for a peace that only God can provide. Some say peace can’t happen, but with God, all things are possible. Has this been done before?
