I received the attached announcement on a Summit on Palestine from Jim Wall, a friend and former editor of "The Christian Century" magazine. Jim is a long time advocate for a just solution to the Middle East Crisis. He is working with the Arab American Action Network. He knows of our ETO activities and would like as many of us as possible to share in the event on July 28. Carol and I are planning to attend. If you would be able to participate, would you please let me know so we can plan for the day. We could also talk about car pooling.
