Abu-Akel to speak at Fayette Presbyterian Dr. Fahed Abu-Akel will be the guest minister at Fayette Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Jan. 4. An ordained Presbyterian minister, Abu-Akel served as moderator of the national body of his denomination last year. He will lead worship at both the 8:30 a.m. Awakening Service and the 11 a.m. traditional service. Abu-Akel was born to Christian Palestinian-Arab parents in Israel in 1944. After coming to the United States, he earned his doctor of ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and his master of divinity at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta.
