The Forum for discussion of Israel and Palestine is a unique and timely initiative, seeking to promote and facilitate dialogue between Christians, Jews and Muslims in the UK on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
This important topic is often 'the elephant in the room' in inter faith dialogue, hindering progress in relations between these three major faiths.
FODIP equips and provides opportunities for encounter, where people of different faiths can engage with the issues together. It also seeks to inform through the provision of articles and papers.
