Abu-Akel to speak

at Fayette Presbyterian

Dr. Fahed Abu-Akel will be

the guest minister at Fayette Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Jan. 4. An

ordained Presbyterian minister, Abu-Akel served as moderator of the national

body of his denomination last year. He will lead worship at both the 8:30

a.m. Awakening Service and the 11 a.m. traditional service.

Abu-Akel was born to Christian

Palestinian-Arab parents in Israel in 1944. After coming to the United

States, he earned his doctor of ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary

in Chicago and his master of divinity at Columbia Theological Seminary

in Atlanta. He became a U.S. citizen in 1981.

Abu-Akel is a leading Christian

authority on Israel-Palestine relations. He continues to work for peace

in the Middle East and encourages Christians to support other Middle Eastern

Christians, who struggle daily in difficult and dangerous circumstances.

A discussion of these opportunities will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

in the church fellowship hall Sunday.

Ga. Hwy. 92 North, 2.5 miles from its intersection with Ga. Hwy. 85, just

south of Graves Road. Call the church office, 770-461-7147, for additional
