Israel’s Chief Rabbis will meet the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace on Tuesday where it is expected a new joint declaration to establish a joint dialogue will be signed.
Bishops in the Anglican churches in the Middle East in particular have welcomed the coming together of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and Chief Rabbis Shlomo Amar and Yonah Metzger.
Members of both faiths are hopeful the new dialogue will lead to closer relations between the archbishop and other religious leaders as well as consolidate interfaith relations in the Middle East and beyond, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The declaration will be signed before the leaders of both communities as well as leading Christian-Jewish dialogue organisations.
