Steve35th Summit Participant
Hearing Alison's 30+ year journey a bit more was deeply impactful, Dr, Abuelaish's story broke down stereotypes for me and I need to expand my concept of intersectionality as a result of Dave Zirin's presentation. Thank you for all you do!
Mary35th Summit Participant
I found the lunch time discussion on Evangelical Zionism helpful. The closing prayer service was excellent.
BillLocal event participant
I heard Destiny Magnett speak at Chautauqua and got to meet her and chat a bit. I like what CMEP is doing and hope to find ways to introduce CMEP to some open-minded churches here in Worcester.
Carol 2026 Summit Participant
Yes, this year’s Advocacy Summit was excellent. Worth going again. Great to have CMEP arrange the meetings. They even scheduled a meeting with my tone-deaf Rep when it comes to Palestine, even when I was the only person at the Summit from my Congressional District.
Beth35th Summit Participant
The message of keeping hope was important.The preparation for Congressional meetings was outstanding.
EdwinSubstack reader
The Substack weekly update is comprehensive and excellent! Keep going! God’s peace will have the last word!
Kent35th Summit Participant
I appreciated Khaled Elgindy's presentation putting our work into the context of what has taken place over the past few decades, so much so that I bought his book. I really enjoy ending the summit with the prayer service on the lawn. Mitri's sermon was very meaningful to me.
Participant2026 Summit Participant
...the speakers' voices remain with me still because their voices were unlike any I've heard before. The knowledge they shared with audience members bloomed into multidimensional bouquets layered with experience and grief-- all of which left its mark on me.
