FOURTH annual Conference on Peace-Making, Earth Tending and Inter-Faith Reverence

The
Middle East, home to three major faiths, boils and bubbles with turmoil and
hope.  The Arab Spring, the ongoing
battles in Syria, the rising voices of women and the young draw our attention
and worry.



 



Dr.
Andrew Bacevich, Professor of History and International Relations at Boston
University, retired US Army Colonel, and person of deep faith will increase our
understanding and point us toward hope.  Having lost a son in the Iraq
war, Dr. Bacevich knows the pain of war and the need to make peace in a
different way.
