On Saturday 9 July, Sabeel Nazareth participated in a one-day symposium at the Stella Maris Monastery in Haifa. The symposium, called ‘Crises Affecting Christian Families: Are There Solutions?’, focused on the challenges that Palestinian Christian families experience inside Israel. The speakers included: Father Aktham Hijazin, a priest with the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem; Dr. Maha Sabbah Karkabi, a professor of anthropology at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; and Rana Mansour Odeh, a psychotherapist. They discussed the serious social and economic challenges Palestinian Christian families are facing. During the symposium, the participants agreed that schools are the biggest engine of educating children and young people, and more efforts should be made in strengthening schools.
