Event Description: Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been through a lot of changes in its 22 years of existence, and through all of the tribulations, trials, challenges and successes, we have counted on the wisdom, experience and inspiration of our members and friends.

On Sunday, January 14th, ICUJP met on line and in person at St. Camillus Center for Spiritual Care to chart the course for the organization. We talked about what brought us to the group and what we should focus on going forward. This Friday, we will go over the findings and endeavor to create a plan of action that will guide us on our mission of justice and peace.

Key takeaways from retreat:

A majority of people want to have live events, and want to send out more emails & publicize events.
Visits/ events at mosque, temples, etc.
Need to meet face-to-face to build relationships.
Make a list of outreach leaders in mosques, Shura Council, etc.
Outreach to young professionals.

Join the conversation with our speaker:

Dick Bunce's career has combined social work, social justice advocacy, and pastoral ministry. He is a former chair of ICUJP. Since retirement, he has been active in the mental health field and currently is a volunteer in community projects in Pomona, where he resides with his wife, Pam.

ICUJP's Focus on the Israel/Palestine Conflict

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

I think it was smart that you’re wary of using the word “terrorism,” and if you talk about the cycle of violence, or “an eye for an eye,” you could be perpetuating the idea that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a balanced conflict, instead of a largely unarmed people against the fourth most powerful military in the world.
-- Rachel Corrie

A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare.
-- Mahmoud Darwish
