ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

presented by David Benedict

Earlier this year, David Benedict, a parishioner at St Stephen's, visited the West Bank, part of Palestine that has been under Israeli Military Occupation since 1967. “Acts of the Holy Spirit” is David's personal witness to the life of a Palestinian Christian family who have lived for three generations under Israeli Occupation.

Farming the land in the traditional way, they hosted David for two weeks, while struggling from day to day to survive threats of violence from the Israel Defense Forces and from armed Israeli settlers who encroach on Palestinian land. David's report sheds a timely light on the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict, through the experiences of one courageous and caring family.
