Mark Braverman, author of Fatal Embrace. Christians, Jews and the Search for Peace in the Holy Land, will be the guest preacher this Sunday at 10 a.m. at Wyoming Presbyterian Church, 432 Wyoming Avenue, Millburn. Descended from Palestinian Jews, Mark was transformed on a 2006 trip to the Holy Land by witnessing the occupation of Palestine and by encounters with peace activists and civil society leaders from the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities. Since then, Braverman has devoted himself full-time to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Mark is the executive director of the Holy Land Peace Project, an interfaith and ecumenical organization that promotes education about and action for Middle East peace in the U.S. faith communities. Braverman is a cofounder of Friends of Tent of Nations North America, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Palestinian land rights and peaceful coexistence in historic Palestine. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions-USA, the advisory committee of Friends of Sabeel North America, and the advisory council of the Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace. He is a charter member of American Jews for a Just Peace.

All are welcome!
