WELCOME

I'm a Palestinian lived theologian exploring how different communities understand land, identity, and faith. Born and raised in Nazareth, I've had the privilege of learning from both my Palestinian Christian heritage and my studies in Indigenous and Inter-Religious Studies at Vancouver School of Theology. My work focuses on creating conversations between Palestinian and North American Indigenous perspectives, using approaches like contrapuntal reading to help marginalized voices speak with rather than about each other. Through my research and upcoming book, I hope to contribute to more inclusive theological conversations that honor the wisdom found in both Palestinian and Indigenous traditions. I'm grateful for opportunities to share this work through speaking engagements and to continue learning from the communities and scholars who have shaped my understanding.

This chapter examines the significance of sumac as both a cultural symbol and theological metaphor, exploring how seemingly ordinary elements of Palestinian life can inform rich theological reflection, particularly in contexts of displacement and occupation.
