The Tantur Ecumenical Institute of Jerusalem (check website in the Link menu), organizes a two day workshop on “Contextualizing Faith: Living One’s Religious Commitment in Israel, Africa, and Europe”.
Scholars from different institutions, from Israel and abroad, will present their perspective on how to live the faith in different environments.
The program is as follows:

Happy Feast of Pentecost. May the Spirit of God fill you in this day and renew your faith in the Risen Christ.
In this very place, the apostles and Mary, the mother of Jesus, waited for the fulfilment of Jesus’ promise: “I shall send you the Spirit, the Consoler, he will teach you and remind you of all I have said. With Mary, the apostles were here to pray, separated from their society, far from all. They feared, felt weak, but not abandoned. They believed in God and in the Lord’s promise.

During the second session of Vatican II (1963), the official Anglican, Protestant and Orthodox observers suggested to Pope Paul VI that “someone, somewhere” should establish an institute where Christian scholars and teachers, parish clergy and other church workers could experience a community life of prayer, study and dialogue. After his pilgrimage to Jerusalem in January 1964, Pope Paul decided to initiate such an institute in Jerusalem where, he said, “Christians of all communions, one yet sadly divided, find other peoples of the Book, Jews and Muslims.” The Vatican purchased the property, but an interconfessional advisory board authorizes the programs and personnel for the Tantur Ecumenical Institute for Theological Studies. The legal entity for the Institute’s properties and administration is the University of Notre Dame.
