Below is a press release from CBF-partner Passport, Inc., announcing a new d365 devotional series starting October 23.

When we hear the news about wars and conflict — whether in the Holy Land or in Ukraine or other places around the globe — we are shocked and saddened, we may become overwhelmed, numb or confused. How do we respond in faith? This week on d365, we are featuring a team of writers — Christian pastors and advocates with connections to Palestine, Israel, Armenia, and Ukraine, as well as a Jewish Rabbi — all reflecting on this week’s theme, “The Way of Peace.” This d365 devotional series will run starting October 23rd. Writers include:

Rev. Dr. George A. Mason is senior pastor emeritus of Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas and president of Faith Commons, an interfaith organization that promotes peace and works for the common good.

Rabbi Salem Pearce is the Director of Spirituality at the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life.
