Please mark your calendars for an important community film event. St Clement's is honoured to present a free, public screening of Where Olives Trees Weep on Saturday April 26th at 7 pm. A panel discussion will follow. The film will be shown upstairs in the church. Parking is available in the lot. There is a ramp, stairlift, and accessible washroom on site.
Where Olive Trees Weep explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. It follows, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, Israeli journalist Amira Hass, and renowned speaker and author Dr. Gabor Maté.
St Clement's Anglican Church in North Vancouver, BC, Canada strives to be an inclusive, welcoming Christian community, faithful to Christ's call to love God and serve the contemporary needs of a changing world. We hope this film screening will help educate our church community and anyone from the broader neighbourhood who attends, on the perspectives and experiences of Palestinian people today. St Clement's proudly supports Alongside Hope (PWRDF), the Anglican Church of Canada relief organization offering humanitarian response in Gaza and the West Bank.
