Middle East Mission
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you."-- Psalm 122:6
The Middle East Mission Group seeks to act in solidarity with all who seek the peace of Jerusalem and the Middle East, the land that is Holy to the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Through study, prayer and pilgrimage we will build relationships and plant seeds that will yield a harvest of peace with justice. We will align our parish mission efforts with the Diocese of Washington's efforts to create a partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.
