International Peacemaker Coming To Seattle Area

International Peacemakers are leaders who are engaged in peacemaking in their own areas of the world. They are invited by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to visit  Presbyterians in the United States and to help us understand the peace and justice concerns of others around the world. International Peacemakers help Presbyterians broaden their view of the world, deepen their understanding of peace and justice issues in our own communities, and faithfully follow Jesus in ministries extending compassion, seeking peace, and doing justice.

Arda Aghazarian is an Armenian Palestinian Christian, born and raised in the Old City of Jerusalem.

She has taken various courses in media and film, and worked as a producer and presenter for a radio station that aimed to build bridges between Palestinians and Israelis. She is the Media and Advocacy Coordinator at the YWCA of Palestine. She also serves on the World YWCA Board of Directors. She will be in the Seattle area from Sept. 28-Oct. 2 and is available to come speak to your group.
