I'm so honored that Bright Stars of Bethlehem has chosen Peace United as one its several West Coast stops on this year's pilgrimage across the country.  These ten photographers are gifted with an eye for story, passion and contradiction.  Their work hangs, this month, on the walls of our sanctuary, a reminder of the humanity and hope still gathering in the hearts of an occupied people.
