Anna Lisa will begin a journey home today from her delegation trip to Hebron, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and at-Tuwani, where she's been for the last several weeks. You can read her latest post on the delegation blog about what it means to say goodbye. This as the news headlines are still filled with stories of conflict and crisis in and around Gaza, and as the U.S. president returns from a self-defeating trip to the region with conflicting goals of encouraging peace while threatening war. I will look forward to the stories and perspectives of this group of delegates, trying to find reasons for hope and ways to work for peace in a place that still feels so far away.

Stay tuned to the ProgressiveWayneCounty.org events calendar for information on when you can hear some of those stories and perspectives too.
