Wenham, MA—What if you could free those who are utterly stifled by fear? The International Day of Peace is part of a growing effort to do just that. Gordon College celebrated September 21st, the day that was declared by the U.N. to honor and respect peace everywhere. Throughout the day there were talks given by people such as Dr. David Steele to help Gordon students get a better understanding of what the day stands for and how we can help promote peace everywhere.
A movie was played at the end of the celebration called Little town of Bethlehem. In the movie we see Palestinian and Israeli citizens trying to bridge the chasm that has separated the two ethnic groups for so long. “The movie pulled in interesting facts that most people who knew a little about the situation didn’t fully know about yet” said Stephanie Goethner a senior communication arts major. Dr. David Steele said that by learning more about the situation we will become more hopeful for the future.
