INVITATION TO A PEACE SYMPOSIUM establishing the
TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION FOR THE MIDDDLE EAST (TRCME)
At Galillee / Bethlehem
August 6-12, 2008
ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN PEACE SYMPOSIUM
ON
Ending The Wars, Making The Peace
And announcing the formation of an
ECOCOUNCIL OF THE MIDDLE EAST
This gathering is open to all whom have the long term interests of peacemaking in Israel and Palestine and particularly in finding a solution to the cultural and religious aspects of the conflict. It is being held in both Israel and Palestine to make it possible for participants to come both from both sides of the dispute.
The Sea of Galilee is a sacred place for both Jews, Christian and Muslims, and Bethlehem is also an important spiritual centre for all sides.. Among other participants we hope a number of Islamic scholars, Sufis, Rabbis, Kabbalists, Christian clergy, Christian mystics, Bahais, secularists and peace activists from both contemporary Israeli and Palestinian society as well as internationally will be in attendance.
With the peace process in the Middle East having stalled for too long, having moved so far, it is the hope of this symposium to encourage a healthy debate between both Israeli and Palestinian peace thinkers, activists and spiritual leaders, so as to vision together a long future for both Israel and Palestine, and one which will be beyond the threat or fear of violence.
We also intend to launch at this gathering a new body, an Eco-Council for the Middle East which will serve as a forum for representation of all those interested in the ecology of the wider Middle East region: with the Sea of Galilee dying, fishes depleted, and global warming effecting our weather patterns, we have an increasing ecological responsibility to end our conflicts and feuds, and pursue ways of peace, justice and harmony.
All those who have thought for the long term sustainability of our environment, who love and care for this magical and mysterious part of the world, and who have the protection of our sacred places at heart, and who have specific news of environmental issues and campaigns in their part of the world, are invited to attend or send representatives.
Hosting the meeting is Dr Thomas Daffern, Director of the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy and founder of the Global Green University.
If you are able to attend, or send a representative, or if you can help with the administrative work involved in establishing the new TRCMI, or if you can help with funding, or prayer work. ,please contact:
