Intercongregational Partnership (IPPIES)

A group of Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church members and Bethesda Jewish Congregation members interested in developing a closer relationship between the two congregations, through dialog, education and mission participation. For more information contact Karen Werner or the Bethesda Jewish Congregation office. 

The Save Darfur Coalition and The Darfur Interfaith Network ask concerned Americans to gather every Wednesday from 12 to 1 in front of the Sudanese Embassy, to let the Sudanese Government know that the world is watching and deplores the genocide they are allowing to happen to their citizens in Darfur.  The Embassy is two blocks north of the Dupont Circle Metro stop, at 2210 Massachusetts Avenue.  There will be vigils kept outside every Sudanese Embassy around the world for as long as it takes.  Contact Jeanne Tustian (301-469-6088) or Marty Ganzglass from Bethesda Jewish Congregation if you can come to a vigil on a once in a while or regular basis, and if you are interested in the problem of genocide and wish to be on an email list of what's happening with this issue.  Our two congregations are working together on this.
