CJPME is delighted to invite you hear Palestinian Christian leader and author Rev. Alex Awad Tuesday, Oct. 22 in downtown Montreal. Rev. Awad is Dean of Students at Bethlehem Bible College, Pastor of East Jerusalem Baptist Church, and Director of the Shepherd Society. He is also the author of Palestinian Memories: The Story of a Palestinian Mother and Her People. In his book, Awad shares his family's struggle after his father is shot in 1948 in front of their home in East Jerusalem, and his mother's superhuman struggle to raise seven children on her own.

CJPME Factsheet 156, published July, 2012: Christians have been present in Palestine-Israel since the founding of the religion.  Nevertheless their numbers are dwindling for a number of reasons, most notably the systemic discrimination against them by Israel.
