Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations

This program invites clergy, seminarians, theologians, and formation leaders to an intensive week of study that explores the complex history of Jewish-Christian relations and contemporary realities of dialogue in Israel and Palestine. This program also will address the main challenges in contemporary Jewish-Christian relations both in global perspectives and in the specific context of Jerusalem.

Participants will study Jewish-Christian relations from the terrain: walking the Old City, engaging local Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars, and encountering those who live the realities of interreligious dialogue in the Holy Land. The program will examine implications of religious and theological narratives and how these narratives shapes identity, conflict, and coexistence.
