The Saladin Days 2011 Religious dialogue with Rabbi David Rosen and Imam Yahya Hendi
Religion is constantly singled out as the root of all evil in the Middle Eastern conflict; the religious aspect makes the conflict unsolvable, or so the argument goes, because you cannot change what people believe in.
However, there are many that attempt to build bridges between religions, choosing to focus on similarities rather than differences. Three of them will be at the House of Literature tonight. Rabbi David Rosen, a citizen of Jerusalem and the founder of the organization Rabbis for Human Rights, has extensive experience from intra-religious dialogue, as has Imam Yahya Hendi. Living in the US, he has founded the organization Clergy Beyond Borders. Former bishop of Oslo, Gunnar Stålsett, will lead a conversation about whether faith may be a starting point for reconciliation.
