The Religion News website reports today (December 16, 2010) that more than 400 Christian, Muslim, and Jewish leaders from across Palestine and the world gathered on December 14 at the first International Islamic-Christian Conference in Bethlehem.
Organized by Religions for Peace-Palestine -- in cooperation with the Palestinian Islamic Christian Commission -- the event was designed to advance dialogue and cooperation among Christians and Muslims in Palestine, and to enhance the culture of co-existence and respect for each other.
The conference was led by Sheikh Mohammad Husein, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, and His Beatitude Michel Sabbath, Patriarch Emeritus of Jerusalem and a Religions for Peace Co-President.
Religions for Peace -- the world's largest multi-religious coalition -- promotes common action among the world's religious communities for peace.
