Justice Committee are pleased to be hosting Majd Lahham, International Peacemaker from Syria, as our guest speaker on Wednesday, October 10,

for Presbyterians to hear firsthand from one of our international partners in places of conflict. Majd Lahham, from Damascus, Syria, a member of the Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus, serves as assistant director of the program for Iraqi refugees with International Orthodox Christian Charities, providing education, vocational training, community service projects, material relief, and psychosocial support. He looks forward to speaking about
relief work for displaced Syrians, the Christian presence in the Middle East, and his work in outreach and relief to Iraqi refugees in Syria.
His is a timely voice in understanding the conflict in Syria and the Christian presence that seeks peace and reconciliation.
