Rehabilitation of the Jordan River: A Commitment of Faith

Event description: 

Jordan River Faith Based Advocacy Campaign Regional Conference
 
EcoPeace/ Friends of the Earth Middle East will host the regional launch of our Jordan River faith based advocacy campaign in mid November 2013 in Jordan.  The launch conference will bring together faith based leaders and community representatives from the region and from around the world to discuss the critical role of faith based congregations in advancing support for the rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River.

To support this effort FoEME will release a series of publications at the conference that aim to support communities of faith in drawing the connections between Christianity, Islam and Judaism and the need to rehabilitate the Lower Jordan River.  These publications highlight the rich biblical connections that the Abrahamic faiths have to the Lower Jordan River as well as poems, songs and other spiritual connections.  They also suggest actions that communities can take to support regional efforts to rehabilitate the Jordan River.
