July 7 - Saudi Arabia to Host
Major Interfaith Conference
Article: Ecumenical Movement - Misc.
Christians, Jews
and Muslims will gather in Madrid later this
month for what could be one of the highest
profile interfaith meetings in recorded history.
The three-day conference, hosted by Saudi Arabia, aims to highlight the attendees' shared heritage as children of Abraham and lists many prominent leaders and figures of faith including evangelist Franklin Graham, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, and former Vice President Al Gore. Also among the 200 prominent religious leaders will be major Jewish leaders including Rabbi David Rosen, the former chief rabbi of Ireland and head of the interfaith committee of the American Jewish Committee. Although Israel and Saudi Arabia do not currently have formal diplomatic ties, Rosen said that he believes the conference will do much to promote peace and understanding. "I think that will be a great achievement," he told The Associated Press. Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah said he hopes that the conference will help facilitate relations between the world's three major religions while helping to improve the world's perception of Islam.
