Dr Maria Khoury visits Williamsport

The Christian Presence in the Holy Land

As part of her Pennsylvania speaking tour and the 35th Anniversary of Holy Cross Church, Human Rights Champion Dr Maria Khoury from St George Orthodox Church in Taybeh Palestine shared her inspirational and courageous story with all ages in Williamsport. On Sunday, November 11, she participated in the parish Liturgy and spoke to the parish youth after Coffee Hour.  On Monday, November 12, she gave a public lecture on "The Christian Presence in the Holy Land Today" to a crowd that included many first-time visitors to the parish.  Her message was heard loud and clear by those "with ears to hear."  We must fervently keep our Palestinian Orthodox brethren in our prayers!  Holy Cross was truly blessed and enriched by Dr Khoury's presence and words, and offered, in return, financial assistance to the Taybeh Education Fund she chairs to support local students in the last Christian village in Palestine.  Dr Khoury also offered signed copies of her Orthodox children's books; from the "Christina series."
