The Very Rev’d Canon Richard Sewell, Dean of St George’s College, Jerusalem, is travelling to the UK for a short speaking and preaching tour. Living and serving in the heart of the Holy Land since 2018, Dean Richard has become a globally respected spokesperson and a regular voice on international media regarding the tragedies in Israel and Palestine.
With a background in major interfaith projects and decades of ministry, he offers a rare, eyewitness perspective on the conflict. His "radical empathy" and deep theological insight provide a unique bridge across bitter divides. In a time of simplified headlines, this is a vital opportunity to hear a nuanced, compassionate reflection on the "way of peace" from someone at the centre of the situation.
Please note, these events are organised by Dean Richard Sewell and the host churches. They are not affiliated with Musalaha UK, but we believe the events may be of interest to our supporters.
