An historic meeting

A letter from Canon Andrew White, Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Baghdad. I have been in Cyprus, England, Israel, Jordan and Iraq in the last last ten days so I have been rather busy. Much of the work has been in relation to an historic meeting between Iraq and Israel.

The Naim Dangoor Program of Universal Monotheism is sponsoring a unique and truly historic meeting between some of the most senior religious leaders of Iraq and Israel. The meeting is scheduled to take place next week in Cyprus and will
bring together Iraqi Jews, Christians and Muslims along with Jewish, Christian and Muslim Israelis and Palestinians. This meeting will bring together the leaders of the monotheistic faiths from the most dangerous area in the world.

Never before has there been a meeting between Israeli and Iraqi leaders either religious or secular. The two want to show that there is no way that there can be world peace without working together. We trust that this will just be the beginning of a true working engagement together. Further information will follow though we are afraid that for security reasons we are unable to mention the names of those involved. The event is being organised by me and the FRRME.

So we truly do need your prayers and look forward to giving you more news soon.

Blessings,

Andrew
