From Rome to the Damascus Mosque: The importance of and the perspectives on the visit of John Paul II

Submitted by paolo.dalloglio on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 18:24

Television highlighted the decision of John Paul II to take off his shoes before stepping into the Great Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. He wearily crossed the nave whose vaults are still held up by the columns of the Cathedral of John the Baptist. Then, in silence, he collected his thoughts in prayer, near the memorial where the relics of the Precursor are kept. Only the small papal entourage entered the mosque.

Alliance of Civilizations High-Level Symposium, Auckland 24th of May 2007

Paolo Dall’Oglio

Considering the fact that the members of this High Level Group are outstanding and known representatives of academic and political worlds, I had to address a question to myself: What can it mean, this invitation to the leader of a very local experience in Syria, the leader of something still not 'fixed' either ecclesiastically or socially, committed nonetheless to Christian/Islamic harmony building, in the desert mountains of Syria, to the mission of the Alliance of Civilizations?

Welcome on the new website

Submitted by jens.petzold on Fri, 02/18/2011 - 19:02

Dear friends

This is the start of the new Website of Deir Mar Musa, it will be -hopefully- much more dynamic than the old one. But this did not depend on the website but on me, Brother Jens.

We, the community al-Khalil, will try to collaborate more to keep this site up to date and we will try as much as possible to involve also you for discussions and translations.

There are still many informations to put on this site I hope that it will continuously grow over the next weeks.
