St Cadoc’s Catholic Church, Giffnock and Newlands Synagogue, and Orchard Hill Parish Church invite you to hear the incredible stories of two bereaved parents who promote reconciliation as an alternative to revenge.

As a result of their experiences, Robi and Bassam joined The Parents Circle – Families Forum, which is renowned for its work to promote peace and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.
