Description: 

Shadia is a Palestinian from Nazareth, and a Christian. She has worked for over 15 years in policy initiatives and peacebuilding in various organizations, both local and international, working with both Palestinians and Israelis.  As a Palestinian Christian, she is particularly focused on amplifying the voices and perspectives of women and other minorities in various ways, one of which was in the Women Behind the Wall podcast  (http://www.womenbehindthewall.com/).

Shadia graduated from VST with a Masters degree in Interreligious and Indigenous Studies where her thesis presented - "A Theological Conversation between Palestinian and North American Indigenous Understandings of Land."  Prior to coming to Canada, Shadia studied International Relations and English Language at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, as well as Conflict Resolution and Nonviolent Action at Trinity Dublin College in Ireland.  Shadia is currently working as the Community Engagement Animator at Trinity Grace United Church in Vancouver. 

In conversation with Shadia we will hear her story and explore what can support us to be spiritually formed as people who will work towards justice, peace and reconciliation.
