The Scriptural Encounter Forum invites you to the Seventh Series of interfaith dialogue in Manchester on issues of importance to faith communities.
The theme is ‘Faith responses to peace-making in the Israel-Palestine conflict’.
As the war approaches its anniversary the prospects for an end, let alone for peace, seem more remote than ever. This series of Scriptural Encounter addresses the question, 'What might be the role of the faith traditions in encouraging measured reconciling solutions?' Our purpose will be to explore ways to deal with tensions that arise from our respective Scriptural traditions. The presenters for each faith, speak from both their academic and their confessional experience. They are people who are actively involved in peace-making efforts, and will discuss the foundational Scriptural texts that guide their work.
This is the first of three sessions.
