THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM ARAB
COMMITTEE VISITS ANTELIAS
His Holiness Aram I received the chairman of the Christian-Muslim Arab
Committee of the Middle East, Dr. Abbas Halabi, on March 19. An author and a
former judge, Dr. Halabi is a member of the Duruze community. This dialogue
committee, which was established about three years ago, includes prominent
politicians and intellectuals.
The two discussed various inter-religious issues, focusing on the need to
give new impetus to the Christian-Muslim dialogue in the Middle East.
Listening to the viewpoints of Dr. Halabi, His Holiness made several
proposals taking into consideration the unique nature of the
Christian-Muslim dialogue in the Middle East and the challenges of the
current world.
In this context His Holiness stressed the importance of direct dialogue by
Muslim structures with churches without ignoring the role of political and
community structures in this field.
Dr. Halabi then had lunch with His Holiness.
