September 17
Rev. Karen Eiler
Pastor, Memorial United Methodist Church
Rev. Karen Eiler has served United Methodist churches in Ridgefield and Danbury, CT, and moved to White Plains in July, where she now serves Memorial United Methodist Church. Karen is a native Hoosier and a United Methodist from the cradle, who has lived in Connecticut and New York long enough for the East Coast to feel like home. Her undergraduate degree in foreign languages led to a career in marketing and management at IBM, during which it never, ever occurred to her that she would end up as a pastor. She imagines God laughing as she worked as the Christian Education Director of a large program, then made her way through Yale Divinity School. Karen is passionate about helping people connect with God and one another through high-quality worship, engaging educational opportunities, social justice and service work, and just
plain having fun together. Karen has three young adult children. We welcome her to Memorial (whose former pastor,
Rev. Joe Agne, inspired our Tuesdays at Dorry’s Diner). And we look forward to Karen’s joining us on Tuesdays whenever she can.

Sam Sussman
Co-Founder, Extend
Extend offers educational tours of the West Bank to young American Jewish people in order to empower them to be peace leaders in their communities. Participants hear voices that rarely enter the American policy discourse on Israel-Palestine. By meeting with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists, elected officials, ex-combatants, civil society leaders and families, participants are equipped to reconcile multiple narratives of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and inspired to be agents of change in their synagogues, on their campuses, or on Capitol Hill. Sam Sussman co-founded Extend after traveling to the West Bank as a student journalist. In 2013, he graduated with degrees in political science, philosophy and literature from Swarthmore College, where he was a founding member of the campus’ J Street chapter. He has published in several prestigious journals his first-hand human rights reports from China, Myanmar, Cambodia, Athens, Jordan and Zuccotti Park. A native of Orange County, NY, Sam has been engaged in environmental, anti-war and marriage equality activism.
