The French Experience and Global Perspec ves. Aix-en-Provence 2013 During the conference we expounded this theme and examined many aspects, including secularisa on and modernity. We studied very concrete topics like women‘s rights, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and the reality of these in other countries. It did not take long for us, the French, to turn into fervent advocates of our system, the one we live in and understand best. We know its weaknesses, in ma ers of teaching about religion in schools for instance, but we believe and hope that “laïcité” will know how to deal with them and yet remain true to itself, maintaining the neutrality of the State in ma ers of religion. We know that we are its custodians and that the system relies on us, French ci zens, to maintain fairness in its applica on. Many of our English-speaking colleagues and friends feel diff erently about this and le the conference wondering why we were so adamant in our defence: to them “laïcité” is and remains an impediment to the individual‘s right to prac ce his or her religion freely. In the English-speaking world, there is not even a word for “laïcité”, secularity being only an approxima on of it. In fact no word is needed as the concept does not exist. Perhaps what replaces it best is the word “tolerance”, a tolerance that does not result from one majority religion allowing for the presence of others, but rather a credence shared by all. A er three days of vibrant sessions and workshops, these two approaches remained in total opposi on, but we le the conference enriched by our diversity, by the warm feeling of friendship and fraternity that permeated it, and by the rich atmosphere of a successful gathering. The ac ve par cipa on of young academics who gave excellent presenta ons gives us an encouraging outlook for the future of Jewish-Chris an and interfaith dialogue.

  • The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem Newsletter
    NEWSLETTER The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem June 2009 Pentecost Celebration Brings More than 800 Anglicans to Jerusalem An overflowing crowd of more than 800 parishioners from across Israel and Palestine filled the Cathedral of St. George the Martyr in Jerusalem to celebrate the Pentecost with a joyous birthday service led by Bishop Suheil Dawani. “We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was gathered us here this morning as one family from across the Diocese for the birthday of the one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church,” said the Bishop in his sermon. “We are witnesses to our Lord’s death and His resurrection here in Jerusalem, the City of Peace, the City of the Resurrection and of a new covenant.” Children and adults, men, women, couples, grandparents, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews, friends and colleagues, left their communities very early Sunday morning and rode tour buses to Jerusalem for the 10:30 a.m. joint Arabic and English Eucharist. The congregation packed the Cathedral’s nave into the north and south transepts, the three chapels, the Baptistery, and the Cathedral choir to welcome the coming of the Holy Spirit with hymn and prayers. “No longer are we strangers,” noted Bishop Suheil in his sermon. “No longer do we feel left out of our homes, our church, or our society. We belong to a re-born community that welcomes the stranger and the homeless, heals the sick, gives strength to the weak, upholds the oppressed, comforts the brokenhearted and gives witness to the love of God in the example of Jesus Christ.” The Bishop spoke of the many diocesan institutions that follow Christ’s example by providing compassion, healing and teaching for those in need.

  • In the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem 22 February 2017 Re
    In the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem 22nd February 2017 Re-dedication of St Saviour’s, Acre (Akko), Northern Israel. The Diocese of Jerusalem this week celebrates God’s goodness and marvels at the work of the Holy Spirit. For, on 21st February 2017 the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, the Most Reverend Suheil Dawani, re-dedicated St Saviour’s Church in Acre. He did so in the presence of c.700 people, including the Greek Patriarch, His Beatitude Theophilos III; the Bishop of the Maronite Church in the Holy Land, the Right Reverend Musa Haj; the Imam of Al-Jazzar Mosque, Samir Asie; and representatives from the Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities, as well as individuals who had longed for the re-opening and reviving of this church since the majority of its congregation concerned about their security situation left Acre in 1948. Acre is an extraordinary corner of the Holy Land, with one of the best natural harbours in the region. Acre has been a prominent city since it was mentioned in the tribute list of Pharaoh Thutmose III in 16th century BCE. And before its capture by the crusaders in 1104, it had been held by the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, Persians, the Greeks and the Ummayads. St Paul visited it (cf. Acts 21.7), referring to it as Ptolemais and within 150 years it had a bishop. Acre became the port where pilgrims disembarked. The Crusaders built a complex fort with tunnels, churches and hospitals. It was captured by the Muslim commander Saladin and re-taken by Richard-the-Lion-Heart, before being re-captured by the Mamelukes, the Ottomans, the Egyptians, the Turks, and the British.

    INTERVIEW WITH MICHEL FOUCHER European interview n°92 19th July 2016 The Return of the Borders Interview with Michel Foucher, geographer and diplomat THE RETURN OF THE BORDERS IN A start of a further, almost frozen conflict in Eastern NEIGHBOURHOOD IN CRISIS … Ukraine that has paid no heed to international law and European order, has been a windfall for Poland. It has finally achieved American reassurance, 1. Many countries in Eastern Europe, with the aim of which is not so much to strengthen its Ukraine on the front line, find themselves in protection, but to guarantee the continuation of a pivot situation, caught between Russia and an offensive “eastern policy” towards Ukraine and the European Union. To what extent has the Belarus, according to the old rationale of the “cordon Neighbourhood Policy played a stabilising sanitaire”. It is still important for the European Union role in this? to draw up a “Russian policy”, based on legitimate interests (not all of them are) for both sides. At Tension on the Baltic-Black Sea isthmus is of a the same time Russia intends that Finland remain secular nature (rivalry between Sweden and Russia neutral and is placing pressure on Sweden, which – Charles XII against Peter the Great if you like, as in reality is extremely close to NATO and the USA, well as the historic play off between the German which in turn have outsourced their responsibility to city States). This tension now finds its origins in it for the security of the Baltic Sea. Poland’s “eastern two modern sources: on the one hand it has been policy” introduced in 1994 according the German rekindled by the Eastern Partnership, which was Ostpolitik model towards Europe’s neighbourhood, of Polish-Swedish inspiration, the strategic aim of converges with Sweden’s wish to contain Russia (in which was to create a glacis between Central Europe the Baltic countries and in the Baltic).

  • August Newsletter 2012.Pdf
    NEWSLETTER The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem August 2012 Peace to you in the name of the Lord Greetings from Bishop Suheil Dawani Dear Friends, August has been a busy month throughout the Diocese. Summer Camps have been held in Nazareth and Jordan with over 400 youth attending. We have also received visitors from around the world in Jerusalem, and also from Germany and England in Jordan. For the 5th consecutive year we shared the ‘breaking of the fast’, Iftar, with our Muslim brothers at St. George’s Guest House. I also traveled to Jordan to attend their fast breaking meal of Ramadan, held by the king of Jordan, His Majesty King Abdullah Eben Al Hussien. We celebrated a number of confirmations throughout the Diocese. This is always a special time, when we gather to embrace our children into the faith of Christ through the laying on of hands. It is a time when we all remember that through the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, we find our strength, our comforter, and our peace. As always I ask that you please continue to pray for the Diocese of Jerusalem and its work. We are making great strides in pastoral care and development and we continue to strengthen our fellowship with local churches and partners from all around the world. I pray that as you head into the full activity of Autumn, that the Holy Spirit be with you, guide you and grant you the peace that is beyond understanding.
