Mideast Focus Film Series forum today: On Seeing and Not-Seeing in the Holy Land TODAY, 10:10 A.M., BLOEDEL HALL This year’s Mideast Focus Ministry Film Series raises the question “Who Counts?” In this time of doubt about who does count, we consider: Who counts when it comes to the news? In a Refugee Camp? In West Bank Settlements? Who counts among marginalized groups in America? Can we create a world where everyone counts? Join us for the series “kick-off” forum today at 10:10 a.m. in Bloedel Hall. Parishioner Ruth McRee will lead a discussion titled "On Seeing and Not-Seeing in the Holy Land," exploring her experiences of travel in Palestine in January 2016. An opening reception will be held on January 25 at 6:15 p.m. in Skinner Hall, followed by the first film screening at 7 p.m., The Occupation of the American Mind. Film discussion will be facilitated by Joel Connelly, a journalist at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
