Perspectives from Syria: Can the past and present inform a hopeful future?

Thursday, 19th May 2016 from 18:30

All Hallows by the Tower, Byward Street, London EC3R 5BJ

 

Speakers:

Rev Andrew Ashdown

John McHugo

Chaired by the Revd Bertrand Olivier

 

Our two guests used their combined extensive experience in the region to present a historical background of Syria, contextualize the conflict and consider the future. Each speaker introduced their own perspectives before opening up the debate to the audience and taking several provoking questions and comments. The audience came away feeling challenged and more informed about what is happening in Syria, how it has come to this point, and what can be done to help the people whose lives are so tremendously effected by the conflict.
