PTWF Projects for
Peace

Bringing Muslims together to help the Greek
Orthodox Church in Turkey-
When the Turkish government demanded
that all of teh schools should be secular, the Greek Orthodox
Seminary was closed in 1971. This has cayuse a great strain of the
Christian Orthodox world denying the Greek Church the reight to
educate their religious leaders. Pave The Way Foundation initiated a
project with our Muslim partners from the Islamic Center of Long
Island to rally Islamic support to open the seminary. July 5, 2012,
the highest Muslim authority inTurkey joine din this request.
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.
Improving
Relations within the Orthodox Church
The challenge is to
overcome historical disagreements that have hindered the universal
message of peace that is common to all faiths.
PTWF supports the principles of
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
Land Throughout
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.
Problem Solving
Pave the Way has interceded to head off potential problems between
the religions in Israel.
Palestinian- Israeli Peace
Throughout 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 Theophilos III
Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem
PTWF 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.
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.
PTWF particpates in positive projects of Inter-religous
action in France PTWF
