Speaker — Rev. Joan Van Becelaere
Title — Four Wrongs Don’t Make A Right: The Moral Complexity of Israel and Palestine
Topic — The situation in Israel and Palestine is, to put it mildly, a moral mess. And in our very partisan society, many of us are being urged to choose a side. But the situation is more complex than we see on the news. We also know that our Unitarian Universalist sixth Principle currently states that we covenant to affirm and promote “the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;” How do we promote this Principle, how do we live into this goal when faced with a growing, global dilemma?
Bio — Rev. Joan Van Becelaere is a retired Unitarian Universalist community minister living in Columbus, Ohio. Prior to retirement, she was the Executive Director of Unitarian Universalist Justice Ohio. Prior to her work with UU Justice Ohio, Rev Van Becelaere was regional Lead with the Central East Region, district executive for the old Ohio Meadville District, vice president for student services at Iliff School of Theology in Denver CO, and taught as an adjunct instructor in UU polity. Rev Joan currently serves on the board of the StoryTellers of Central Ohio and believes that effective story work can help us understand ourselves, one another and change minds and hearts.
She is a member of the North Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Lewis Center, Ohio. She lives in Columbus with her spouse, Jerry, and four very active felines.
