Encounter with Ethiopia

A Travel/Study Seminar • November 5-15, 2008

In cooperation with the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus, the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program, the Interfaith Relations Office and the Presbyterian World Mission Africa Office invite you to travel and study in Ethiopia.

Participants will meet the people and learn about the ministries of our partner church, especially its peacemaking work. The group will explore the culture of Ethiopia and gain some understanding of the dynamics among its religions and peoples. Participants will join Mekane Yesus seminary students in an interfaith relations seminar, share a meal with PC(USA) mission personnel and visit peacemaking projects in Addis Ababa and Jimma (where the coffee bean was first cultivated and where coffee is still proudly produced!).

Staff: Debby Vial, Presbyterian Peacemaking Program; Jay Rock, Interfaith Relations Office; and Michael Weller, PC(USA) Regional Liaison in the Horn of Africa.

Cost: $1,400 includes all lodging and meals, but does not include airfare from your home to Ethiopia (roughly $1,600) and visa expense (roughly $100).

For more information, call Debby Vial at (888) 728-7228 x5702 or email Bryan Reiff.
