NEW NOTES ON PALESTINE

A timely and thoughtful community conversation at the Josephy Center. Steve Kliewer—pastor at Lostine Church, longtime Rotarian, and dedicated peace advocate—recently returned from Palestine, where he traveled in December, just weeks ago. We’ve invited him to share firsthand reflections on what he witnessed on the ground in the immediate aftermath of the ceasefire in the Holy Land.

This is a rare opportunity to hear personal observations, ask questions, and engage in respectful dialogue about a region that continues to shape global and humanitarian conversations. Steve brings decades of experience in peace work, a deep commitment to listening, and a grounded perspective shaped by relationships and presence.
