Jim & Ginger Kenney live in Mission, KS, a suburb of Kansas City, MO. They have four grown children and seven grandchildren.
They spent a few years traveling and doing consulting work together before retiring to spend more time as volunteers with American Friends Service Committee and Friends Committee on National Legislation. In 1976 they took the first of five trips to Israel/Palestine where they developed what can best described as a passion to comprehend the strange dynamics of this intense conflict in what we call the " Holy Land."
The first of 2004, the two of them were asked to become Mid-West Field Representatives for FCNL to help Quakers in the Midwest and Southwest become more fully aware of the many support services provided by FCNL to promote our Quaker peace testimony and other issues of interest to Quakers. Since then they have been visiting Quakers as well as monthly and yearly meetings, giving programs and workshops on "Effective Lobbying," "Beyond War", "The Israel/Palestine Conflict" and "Native American Issues."
