How long will the churches continue to stand alone in facing what is happening in the world? I am not underestimating the ability of any church to be faithful and wise. What I mean is that there are some matters deserving that we set aside the borders between us, East and West, in order to ...

Journeying in the Word
Today, I am returning to Antioch and the wounds and joys of her people, to my people whom I have never left, and who have opened my eyes to the fact that God, in love, is greater than my own eyes. I am returning to those whom I love, and to those of them who ...
Read moreA Louder Voice
Is the story of peace in the land of peace a theatrical play, as “Nizar” said? I do not like myself when I step into poets’ poems. However, had I had a say with him, I would not have let him sell his mother’s ring “for a gun”! His weapon is sharper, his weapon is ...
Read moreOne Of Us
This is the title of a documentary that tells the stories of people who had left the Hasidic Jewish movement. Hasidim, for those who do not know it, is a closed movement that arose in Eastern Europe in the 18th century, and its followers fled from Nazism to Brooklyn, America. Several motives led me to ...
Read moreThe Guest of “Podcast With Nayla”
I enjoyed Nayla Tueni's interview with Samir Atallah. This meeting replaced a previous appointment that got canceled due to a health problem. The man is several writers combined in one, many lines and stars, history here and now. Atallah spoke about many things, about his childhood, his mother who is living in his memory, his ...
Read moreMaturity of Societies
There are things that, unless purified from them, a society cannot mature. I will mention two of them. The first is this prolonged childhood in which many young people nestle. Then, there is the friendship which, here and there, almost became enmity, that is, a field for transmitting the infection of deviations that are increasingly ...
Read morePre-Nativity Activity
Yesterday, the brethren in the Orthodox Youth Movement (MJO) in Hazmieh opened a Christmas exhibition, the proceeds of which will go towards supporting social service in the parish. This activity, which will be concluded on Sunday by His Excellency Metropolitan Silouan Moussi, is, like any other “Movement” activity, a framework for prayer, for the ministry ...
Read moreThe Sparkle of Eyes
I saw her eyes looking at her “neighbor” who was getting off the school bus. I did not hear her asking: “Why do I not go to school like the other kids?”! The children of the “caretakers of buildings” (that is, the janitors, as they are called in our country) are not allowed to ask ...
Read moreThe Nature of Israel
I am trying to understand the nature of this usurping entity that does not respect anything good in this existence, neither an eye that sees, nor an elderly person or a child…, that seeks to annihilate everyone who disagrees with it, everyone who has another word to say. It claims that its most precious inheritance ...
Read moreThe Children of Gaza
I sat at my screen, watching the news about Gaza. I had a single request: to see what its children are playing today. I did not abandon those who had perished under the fangs of the beast or those who have carried their burdens far away. These are always in my heart. I watched news ...
