Reconciliation Amid Present Pain

Ep. 8 explores the story of Wasim Nasser, a Palestinian Christian &amp; peacebuilder with Musalaha, exploring what it means to see those we have been taught to fear, pursue reconciliation amid violence, &amp; practice peacemaking through the ongoing pain experienced by his community.Wasim reflects on Musalaha’s work bringing people across ethnic, religious, &amp; social divides into relationship, the difficulty of reconciliation when injustice &amp; suffering are not abstract, &amp; why peacemaking requires more than simply avoiding conflict.For more information about Musalaha's work please check out these resources: - Musalaha's Website- Musalaha' US's Website- Through My Enemy's Eyes: Envisioning Reconciliation in Israel-Palestine by Salim Munayer &amp; Lisa Loden- Reconciling Justice: Concepts of Justice in the Multireligious Context of Palestine/Israel by Salim Munayer- Journey through the Storm: Lessons from Musalaha - Ministry of Reconciliation by Salim Munayer- The Cross and the Olive Tree: Cultivating Palestinian Theology amid Gaza by John S.
