Nora Carmi Visits the Triangle
 
September 30th and October 1st
 

Nora Arsenian Carmi is a Palestinian Christian with Armenian roots.  Born in Jerusalem a few months before the establishment of the State of Israel, she became a refugee in her own city.  She has remained a resident of Jerusalem, (now East Jerusalem) except for periods of study abroad.

 A staff member of Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center since 1993, Nora has held different administrative positions and is currently Coordinator of Community Development and Women’s Programs.

Besides her involvement with Sabeel, Nora Carmi represents the Armenian Church in the World Day of Prayer Movement and was one of the writers for the 1994 service, “Go, See and Act.” She was the key note speaker at the

General Assembly of the World Day of Prayer in Swanwick, after being featured at the Green Belt Festival in the UK in 2003.

Before joining Sabeel, Nora Carmi served the Jerusalem YWCA for 15 years. She has traversed the globe with her work for justice and peace. A committed community-builder within the Palestinian society, Nora holds positions on several boards including the International Parenthood and Family Planning, the National Association for the Visually Impaired and the Coalition for Women in Jerusalem. In March 2008, she was honored with a Community and Women’s Development Award for continued services rendered during the Israeli Occupation.

Nora Carmi holds a leadership position with the US-Canadian based Christian Peacemaker Teams, lending insight to their work in Hebron, West Bank as well as their witness in other parts of the oppressed world.

Known as a professional volunteer, Nora serves God and the community in faith and with integrity.
