WASHINGTON DC- Former Ambassador Edward “Skip” Gnehm, Shapiro visiting Professor of International Affairs, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University, will speak at the conference on how the Christian roots extend into the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the importance of bringing an awareness about Holy Land Christians to lay and religious leaders in the West.
Gnehm is the former U.S. Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Kuwait, and was Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations.
The October 22-24 International Conference in Washington, DC will be held at the Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church. The conference theme – Holy Land Christians: Rooted in Bonds of Peace – emphasizes the historical relevance and spiritual leadership of the Christians of the Holy Land, the living stones that Apostle Peter refers to 1 Peter 2:5. The primary scriptural reference for the theme is Ephesians 4:3: Make every effort to preserve the unity, which has the Spirit as its origin and peace as its binding force.
