JCMA | AGM & TALK | ‘The JCMA Joint Journey To Jerusalem - Discovering Common Ground’ | Thursday 17 November 2016 | Arrive 6.45pm for 7.00pm start

[Edited extract from public address]

Earlier this year, a group of Christians, Jews and Muslims travelled together for ten days as part of the JCMA ‘Joint Journey to Jerusalem’.

Spending a day immersed in the Jewish quarter, a day in the Muslim quarter and a day in the Christian quarter, pilgrims experienced the three holy days together then visited the Holocaust Museum, Qumran, historic Masada, the Dead Sea and Bethlehem.  Come along and join as at the AGM to hear members of the group share some of their impressions, challenges and experiences.

"We started as a diverse group of people and, through remaining open and understanding, respecting differences of opinion and sharing and caring for our fellow travellers, we developed friendships and bonds that touched us emotionally and spiritually and will remain with us the for rest of our lives”.  Kat Bowden, Resource Writer for Catholic Education Melbourne
