Suzanne DeBey will be speaking about the Jewish roots in Christianity at St. Swithin’s Episcopal Mission, which meets at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 250 N. Blackberry Ave. in Forks, at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 13.

DeBey has been a lay leader in the Jewish community, the author of a column on Judaism in the Peninsula Daily News for 34 years and taught world religions as part of the curriculum for 37 years. Raised as a Christian and a convert to Judaism 35 years ago, she has a unique perspective on the relationship between the two religions.

Though people often are able to cite the differences in the two faiths, it is important to learn about the many commonalities they share. There will be time for questions and discussion. All are welcome also to attend the service of Holy Eucharist at 5 p.m. which is followed by supper. There is no charge for any of the events. For more information, contact St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Port Angeles, 457-4862, sapa@olypen.com or St. Swithin’s Episcopal Mission, 374-9770.
