Fifth Annual Berrigan-McAlister Award Celebration

Omar Haramy, an Arab Palestinian Christian, is Director of Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Center in Jerusalem. Sabeel is a thirty-year-old organization dedicated to the Palestinian liberation theology of justice and active nonviolence; it stands with the oppressed, works for a just peace, and engages in peacebuilding in the midst of decades of occupation and land confiscation. Haramy works for a more just future where Muslims, Jews, Christians, and others can live together in peace and justice through the power of nonviolent action.

The Berrigan-McAlister Award honors those whose acts of Christian nonviolence – like those practiced by Reverend Daniel Berrigan, S.J. Philip Berrigan and Elizabeth McAlister – resist injustice, transform conflict, foster reconciliation, and seek justice and peace for all.

Organized by the Department of Catholic Studies and sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Center for World Catholicism & Intercultural Theology (CWCIT), Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies, Office of Mission & Ministry, and University Libraries
