UPDATED as of 1/3/2017. Updates are in Red text below.

May 15 to May 29, 2017

Deadline to register February 10, 2017

The state of Israel and the Palestinian Territories often dominate the news, but few in the West understand the story as told by Jews and Arabs living in the land itself. In this pilgrimage we seek to put a human face on the conflicts many face in this fraught region. We will explore the complex history of the region, the growth of the three monotheistic faiths side by side, and the impact of religion in the land.

The trip will cost $3,325 per person.

A $500 deposit per person is due to hold your place. By making this deposit you agree to the tour terms and conditions and statement of responsibility so please review them carefully.

The $500 deposit is due Friday, February 10, 2017. Final payment is due by Sunday, April 2, 2017.

The trip will be led by The Rev. Dr. Patricia K. Tull, The Rev. Dr. Sarah J. Melcher, and The Rev. Dr. Kristine Suna-Koro.
