An evening with Palestinian Christian activist and author Sami Awad.
Sami Awad, Co-Director of Nonviolence International—an organization founded in 1989 to promote strategic nonviolent action addressing injustice and conflict--and author of The Sacred Awakening, which invites us to embody a radical path to liberation and peace. Raised in and currently living in Bethlehem, West Bank, Palestine, Sami brings lived experience with occupation and spiritual reflection to invite us to resist injustice, embody courageous love, and embrace a deeper way of living in the face of colonialism.
