arrow icon. European Methodists find common ground at festival 
At first glance, it may be hard to imagine that European Methodists have met together in large numbers only twice: once during the Cold War and then again this summer. But considering everything that has conspired to keep them apart - differences in language, history, culture, church structure and geography, and even politically fraught visa application processes - one begins to appreciate what an achievement the July 30-Aug. 3 European Methodist Festival really is.

arrow icon. In a Land called Palestine 
The Reverend Sandra K. Olewine is a missionary of the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church assigned to Catholic Relief Services in Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine. Tragic stories about people's difficulties leaving or entering Palestine/Israel are common among Palestinians. One such story of a Palestinian being denied basic human rights struck a particularly personal note with the staff at the International Center of Bethlehem (ICB) this week. Internationally-recognized musician Marwan Abado, an Austrian national of Palestinian origin, was denied entry upon his arrival on Sunday, 20 July and he was subsequently deported on the 21st.
