“Endure for the Promise”
You are invited to the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA)
After only convening virtually for the past two annual meetings, we are excited to offer a hybrid format for the 2022 IPMN Annual Meeting! General Assembly has once again proved critical in the work of advancing human rights and justice in Palestine/Israel with the PCUSA overwhelmingly voting in support of overtures related to apartheid, ending the siege in Gaza, and designating within our denomination May 15 as Nakba Remembrance Day.
As we celebrate the victories at the General Assembly, we know there is still much work in front of us. During our time together we will reflect on what IPMN is called to do at this moment. Your voice and ideas are needed as we discern where we go as a Mission Network. We hope you will be able to join us in person in San Anselmo, CA or via Zoom this November 10-12 as we consider what it means for IPMN to "endure for the promise" as we continue to lift up the calls for justice and equality coming from our siblings in Palestine.
We hope you will all make it a priority to join us in person for this year's IPMN Annual Meeting.
