Yahya Hendi, WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES: CURRENT DIALOGUE
Issue 41, July 2003
With ongoing violence sapping the spirits of Israelis

EVEN A SMILE CAN MAKE IT!!!
Sometimes I take the
metro downtown to Washington, DC. As I travel, I
sometimes notice the lack of smiling faces amongst the
travelers. Recently, on one of these trips, I was using

Between Faith and Pain. It was two in the morning
when my brother called asking me to come to the Holy
Land. My mother was gravely ill. By the end of the next
day, I had arrived at the hospital in Jerusalem. As I

gave me the news that she was dying but I couldn’t
believe it. She did not appear as a woman

Together, Marching for PEACE in the Middle East.
Almost every day, we wake up with sad news coming to us
from the Middle East. We hear of homes being destroyed
in or around Jerusalem and women and children being
