PORT TOWNSEND -- An Arab Anglican bishop whose ministry is to bridge the gulf between Muslims and Jews in the Middle East brought his message of peace to a local parish last week.

Suheil Dawani is bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem, and a founder of ``Kids for Peace,'' a program that takes groups of Muslim and Jewish children on trips together out of the Middle East to promote interfaith friendships.
