Christmas Message from Bethlehem

Wrtten by the Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, President, Dar al-Kalima University

Dear friends,

Though we are going through very rough times,
and though it is sometimes difficult to find the right words,
we would not want to miss sharing with you our Christmas message.

What is happening in Gaza today sheds new light at the Christmas story, and what happened in our town two thousand years ago empowers us to tell our story anew.

From the little town of Bethlehem, and from our staff and students at Dar al-Kalima University, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a new year when fire will cease, the besieged are set free, and a just peace is in the reach.
