 | NOV-23: Israel: According to Religion Today: Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Buddhists are meeting at the Sea of Galilee to discuss peace. Priests, rabbis, imams, and Buddhist monks are meeting to discuss religious conflict and urge their followers not to use religion to divide people, The Associated Press said. The Dali Lama, leader of the world's 250 million Buddhists, opened the three-day conference Nov. 21 at a Byzantine monastery built on the site of what is said to be the place where Jesus cast demons from a possessed man. Organizers hope the event will persuade religious leaders in Northern Ireland, South Africa, Bosnia, and other hotbeds of religious strife to seek peace. [Spelling error corrected.] |
