Full Description: 

“Al-Liqa” is the Arabic word for “encounter”. It was in Palestine that the great Encounter between God and man took place, an Encounter enabling all peoples to communicate with each other. In the spirit of this Encounter, the Al-Lika’ Center was established in 1982 by a number of Palestinian Muslim and Christian academic and religious leaders. Its goal is to create a lively dialogue and foster understanding between the people of two religions, Christianity and Islam. In addition, the Center has helped to define the role of the local church and to formulate a contextualized theology. The Center is a place of research and study on the religious traditions and institutions of the people of the Holy Land and the region. Its programs include annual conferences, interfaith dialogues, Palestinian contextualized theology in the Holy Land, international activities and the publication of Al-Lika' Journal, a newsletter, books and occasional papers.
