Rutherford Lecture: Everyday Life in Palestine

Hosted by Rutherford College and in conjunction with the Former Staff Association, Dr Keith Dimond will be giving a talk on ‘Everyday Life in Palestine’ on Wednesday 18 February, at 6pm in Rutherford Lecture Theatre One.

Keith Dimond spent three months serving with a World Council of Churches programme in the Northern Palestine City of Tulkarm.

During this time he accompanied Palestinians in their everyday life, going with farmers to their fields located across the Israeli Barrier or workers who cross the barrier each day to work in Israel.

He also met with charitable organisations both Israeli and International that provide aid to Palestinians. Over the three months he was able to meet with many Palestinian families and see something of their life.

Keith will illustrate the talk with pictures he has taken. All welcome.
