The next Scriptural Encounter will take place on Tuesday, 5th November from 4PM-5:30PM online via Zoom.

As the war has passed its anniversary amidst escalation into Lebanon and even Iran, the prospects for an end, let alone for peace, seem more remote than ever.

This series of Scriptural Encounter addresses the question, 'What might be the role of the faith traditions in encouraging measured reconciling solutions?'

We are exploring ways to deal with tensions that arise from our respective Scriptural traditions. The presenters for each faith, speak from both their academic and confessional standpointst.

Our presenter will be DR Salim J. Munayer who is the Director and Founder of Musalaha Ministry of Reconciliation, which has been bringing Israelis and Palestinian together since 1990.

Salim is a Palestinian-Israeli born in Lod as one of six children and received his BA from Tel Aviv University in History and Geography, his MA from Fuller Theological Seminary, graduate studies in New Testament from Pepperdine University and his PhD from the Oxford Center of Mission Studies in the UK. His doctoral dissertation was written on “The Ethnic Identity of Palestinian Arab Christian Adolescents in Israel.”

He has published several books on Reconciliation, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, and Christians in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Salim served as academic dean of the Bethlehem Bible College from 1989 to 2008, and continues to serve as a professor at the college. He is also an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. Salim is married to Kay and has four sons, Jack, Daniel, John and Sam.
