The Stones Cry Out film viewing and discussion

October 29 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

A photo of a person with the head covered, carefully lighting a thin candle in the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem.

The Stones Cry Out (2013) film viewing, Tuesday, October 29TH at 7:00 pm CST, in person at Grace-Westminster United Church, Saskatoon, with online and in person discussion after. This documentary lifts up the voices of Palestinian Christians who are often left out of coverage of the military occupation of Palestine. Although they are a small minority, Palestinian Christians have played a critical role in the territory’s history and, as Palestine is the birthplace of Christianity, this community has a global significance for Christians.

The film covers Palestinian Christians’ experiences from 1948 to the modern era, including the effects of the Israeli military occupation on Bethlehem. **For those who cannot attend in person and want to view this film you can view online for free here.
