On 12th and 13th of July, the Interfaith Encounter Association joined the international Forgiveness Institute, funded by Prof. Robert D. Enright, and other organizations and a conference on the subject of forgiveness was held in Jerusalem. Two intense days of presentations, conversation circles and testimonies were dedicated to reflect on the value of this concept and its implementation in our lives. Around two hundred people participated in each of the days – Jews, Muslims and Christians; Israelis, Palestinians and internationals. The conference took place at the Notre Dame Center in Jerusalem, under the slogan “Rising above the storm clouds”.
Speakers were Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (by video); Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Archbishop of Manila; Prof. Adamou Ndam Njoya of Cameroon; Rabbi Yuval Cherlow and Bishop William Shomali of Israel, and Palestinian Authority Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash.
On the second day, speakers from Israel, Northern Ireland, the United States and the Philippines focused on forgiveness education in their countries.
