On Saturday 16 July, Friends of Sabeel Australia held a virtual webinar with Nora Arsenian-Carmi. Nora spoke about her work as a long-time advocate and activist for the Palestinian-Armenian Christian community in the Holy Land. She was born in Jerusalem, a few months before the founding of Israel in 1948. She has been a permanent resident of East Jerusalem since 1967, when the occupation of the city began. Her family also survived the Armenian genocide in 1915. Nora has been a community builder in many religious and civil society organizations and groups. For more than 37 years, she worked with Sabeel, the YWCA, and Kairos Palestine. She remains closely connected with the World Council of Churches assemblies and events, and participates in several global church networks .
