Improving Relations
Between
Vatican and the State of
Israel
When diplomatic relations started
with Israel on Dec 30, 1993, a few important issues were never
settled and remain outstanding today. Improved relations, with the
Holy See, will have enormous benefits to Israel both economically
and politically.
The Alexandria
Declaration for Peace in the Holy Land
Religious leaders from the Muslim,
Christian and Jewish communities, pray for true peace in Jerusalem
and the Holy Land, and declare our commitment to ending the violence
and bloodshed that denies the right to life and dignity.
Projects for Peace
in the Middle East
-
Live
and Practice “Shalom and Salaam” --don’t just
say
it- Through a mutually beneficial prosperity
plan, we hope to create an environment where hatred and violence
will take a back seat to building a future and raising a family.
Palestinian-Israeli
Prosperity Plan-This
plan is simply designed to reduce one of the fundamental factors,
which contribute to hostilities and acts of violence. A basic human
need is to have a meaningful job in a peaceful environment.
Promoting Christian Tourism in the Holy
LandThroughout
the tumultuous history of the Middle East each conflict has resulted
in a decimation of the tourism industry. This has only fueled the
conflicts since it directly impacts the livelihood of everyone in
the region. Our work to change the course of these events is making
significant progress.
International Conference
on religious extremism
There is a large segment of Muslim
leaders who are not only organizing to condemn the use of the name
of Islam for all violence, but also strongly believe in Israel's
right to exist in peace with her neighbors.
Problem Solving
Pave the Way has interceded to head off potential problems between
the religions in Israel.
Palestinian- Israeli PeaceThroughout our travels
in the Middle East, the predominant message we hear from Palestinians
and Israelis is that they all genuinely want peace. This is in direct
contrast to the media representation of the conditions in the
region. PTWF is working with prominent Palestinians to give their
people another choice to focus on finally working for peaceful
co-existence with the Israelis.
Affirmation of His Beatitude Theofilos III
Greek Orthodox Patriarch of JerusalemPTWF is urging the
Israeli government and the Jordanian Kingdom, to grant immediate affirmation to the Greek
Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem in the interest of improving
inter-religious relations and assuring freedom of religion devoid of
political influence.
Mom's Baby gift PTWF
is proud of its principal concept, that a gesture is the most
important means to open the door to meaningful changes in the
positive relations between people. This is particularly true when,
on a one to one basis, hatred and bigotry subsides when faced with a
hand extended with kindness and compassion and also holds a
meaningful personal gift. This baby formula and gift program is
equally distributed to Muslim, Christian and Jewish Moms.
Media's role in International conflicts-
As we collectively attempt to
analyze the contributing factors of the conflicts which engulf our
world, the media's role in these conflicts have traditionally been a
taboo subject and is left unsaid. The civilized world must come to
realize this major tool, used by every side, needs to be
reformed for good and to fulfill its mandate. News must be reported
without opinion or bias.
PTWF works with the Armenian Patriarchate of
Jerusalem- PTWF works
with the Armenian Church to encourage gestures between the
faiths and to encourage new pilgrimages to come to the Holy Land
which benefits everyone on the region.
