Peacebuilding event – 7pm

16th November 2017

St Cadocs Catholic Church, Giffnock and Newlands Synagogue and Orchard Hill Parish Church invite you to hear the incredible stories of two bereaved parents who promote reconciliation as an alternative to revenge.

In March 2002, Robi Damelin’s son, David, was shot by a Palestinian sniper, he was 28 years old. In January 2007, Bassam Aramin’s 10 year old daughter, Abir, was shot by an Israeli soldier. As a result of their experiences, Robi and Bassam joined The Parents Circle – Families Forum, which is renowned for its work to promote peace and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

Hear them speak to an interfaith audience in Glasgow Southside.

We will also be joined by Jackson Carlaw, MSP for Eastwood and Deputy Leader of the Scottish Conservatives.

Chairing the event will be The Right Rev Dr Derek Browning, Moderator of the Church of Scotland.

7pm for refreshments, 7:30pm for speakers and discussion.

Location will be emailed to registered attendees a few days before the event.
