Today, we are having an extra subscriber Zoom call starting at 10:00, featuring two people with a depth of background on the subject at hand.
Here is your link to the Zoom call: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81219591463.
You do not have to be a paid subscriber to participate.
Please join this important dialogue if you can. Otherwise, a podcast recording will be available at a future date soon.
Corinne Whitlach was the director of Churches for Middle East Peace, based in Washington, D.C., until moving back to her home state of Iowa to be closer to family. We are fortunate to have her back. In her role, she worked with multiple religious organizations and lobbied Congress. She’s traveled extensively in the region we will be talking about.
This topic can generate passion. So far, we have managed not to have these Potluck calls hacked or get out of control, and I’m confident this will be the same. I’ve figured out where the ‘remove’ button is located and will use it if necessary.
You can expect an informed discussion on the call. We have a smart bunch of influential readers here, so come join the discussion.
You are welcome to share the link to this call with individuals you think have an interest, but please do not post it on the general web.

Good point! Thank you.
Hello! Hey, could I offer a suggestion for your platform to think about? If possible, when posting info like this where you have the time of 10:00 in the email subject line and other places in the email, could you also add if this is CST or even better, add the times for PT/MT/ EST? When I see an email, that information would help me to know instantly if I can get in on this event or if it's already past the time in my time zone and I've missed it. I would think with all the various subscribers in all parts of the country and the world, that might be a helpful feature. Take care, thank you for everything. I hope one day to be a contributor on your platform in some fashion.
