Peace Stories Bethlehem 2011

Warm Greetings from the International Fellowship of Reconciliation! We would like to share with you a call from Pax Christi International entitled “Peace Stories Advent and Christmas in Bethlehem 2011.” The initiative is locally supported by one of our FOR Palestine branches, Wi’am Palestinian Conflict Resolution Center.
The Peace Stories project, which is organized this month during Advent into the Christmas season, is described as follows:
The stories will be used in Bethlehem, Palestine, and other locations in educational and religious settings. These stories are a sign of hope, and a gesture to these movements that people from outside the Middle East and North Africa care about their destiny.
Please e-mail your inspirational Christmas stories for peace before the 25th of December 2011 (Western Christmas) and/or the 7th of January 2012 (Eastern Christmas).
While English is the preferred language, non-native English speakers may also send stories of peace in their mother tongue. Messages can be e-mailed to the Arab Educational Institute at the following address: info@aeicenter.org.
The International Fellowship of Reconciliation was founded in 1914 and is an interfaith movement committed to Active Nonviolence with members in more than 40 countries. IFOR has special consultative status at the UN (ECOSOC), UN, and UNESCO representations, and has included six Nobel Peace Prize Laureates among its members.
