 ment"\nwith\nPhilip Farah\nFounder\nWashington Interfaith Alliance for Mid

 hurch\n\n\nA light lunch is served at 12:30 p.m. Panel begins promptly at 
 1:00 p.m.\n\nSpiritual groups have often been at the frontlines of human r
 ights movements in the U.S. In recent years there have been dramatic posit
 ions taken by faith-based groups such as the United Methodist Church\, the
  Presbyterian Church\, the United Church of Christ and the U.S. Mennonite 
 Church\, to divest from corporations that aid the Israeli occupation and c
 ontribute to human rights abuses against Palestinians. This panel looks at
  the role and significance of the churches in the Boycott\, Divestment and
  Sanctions (BDS) movement\, the origins of this role\, their landmark achi
 evements and challenges along the way. Our panelists include Philip Farah 
 of the Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace and David Wild
 man of the United Methodist Church's General Board of Global Ministries.
