World Week for Peace in Palestine & Israel (WWPPI) – Volunteer Position Contribute to the preparation of materials for the annual WWPPI, working with ecumenical partners. You will have some knowledge of the situation in Israel Palestine and a genuine concern for the future of all peoples in the region.
We are also seeking the right individual(s) to represent the Methodist Church on two inter faith bodies, when the Revd David Musgrave sits down this summer. We are very grateful to David for the work he has done with the Inter Faith Network and the Churches Forum for Interreligious Relations, each of which involves occasional meetings. Might this be work to which you feel called? If so, get in touch to discuss further what is involved.
Mission Statement: it is hoped to create a community of dialogue among Methodist inter faith practitioners and others; to resource, help develop and strengthen this particular interest group.
