Tantur: 1972-2009

The Tantur Institute for Ecumenical Studies is situated on the main road between Jerusalem and Bethlehem and serves as a welcoming place in the Holy Land for visitors from all over the world, including:

  • scholars in a variety of disciplines
  • teachers, students, and conference attendees
  • spiritual sojourners of all Christian faiths

Tantur offers programs of continuing education and spiritual renewal for:

  • clergy and members of religious communities
  • laity seeking enrichment in the land where Jesus lived and taught

In 25-27 May 2008, Tantur will host a major international conference on the challenge of living the Christian faiths in different contexts. We will look at living the faith in a Muslim-majority (Egypt), in a country with comparable Muslim-Christian populations (Nigeria), and here in the Holy Land. For more information, contact the Rector.
