Dr. Spath is the Executive Director of the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace (ICMP) and has led many trips to the Holy Land. These trips always include a visit with Archbishop Elias Chacour, the founder of Mar Elias Educational Institution in Ibillin, an Arab Galilee town, where, in the face of Israeli government opposition over 30 years, he built one of the highest performing K-12 schools in all of Israel which has Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Druze students.

Archbishop Chacour is the author of several books including Blood Brothers and We Belong to the Land and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work for full human rights for Palestinians and Jews in Israel-Palestine.

Archbishop Chacour will speak at an ICMP fundraiser in downtown Fort Wayne with dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott.
