Past Events

Imago Dei: Resources for Everyday Peacemaking (April 25, 2023): NEME Relationship Manager Mercy Aiken spoke with Osheta Moore and Catherine Skurja about the ways in which the concept of imago dei, God's image reflected in humans and all creation, serves as a tool for Christians to engage in everyday peacemaking.

Peacemaking: From Genesis to Revelation (February 16, 2023): NEME Relationship Manager Mercy Aiken spoke with Dr. Jer Swigart about his unlikely call to global peacemaking and he offered a biblical framework for understanding peacemaking as a central aspect of the Christian Faith.

Part 1 (November 3, 2022) : Dr. Michael Brown, Rev. Moss Ntlha, and Sam Bahour discussed the use of the term "apartheid" in reference to the state of Israel.
Part 2 (November 10, 2022): Hedva Haymov, Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, and Dr. Andrea Smith discussed the role of Christians in responding to accusations of apartheid and the realities on the ground in Israel/Palestine.
Does Israel’s treatment of Palestinians amount to Apartheid, as several major organizations have declared recently? Or does such talk delegitimize the State of Israel, ignore the security threats it faces, and needlessly inflame the region? This two-part webinar will consider why the Apartheid question is so polarizing, what is happening on the ground in the Holy Land, and how Christians might respond as non-partisan agents who support a just peace.

NEME's Relationship Manager, Mercy Aiken hosted NEME's first Live from the Holy Land prayer meetings in June 2022! Watch the recordings:

Health Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Access to Healthcare & COVID-19 Vaccines (Panel Discussion) (November 15, 2021): This panel discussion, hosted by the Network of Evangelicals for the Middle East and Peace Catalyst International, explores the effects of the military occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza on healthcare, with a special focus on access to the COVID-19 vaccines.
