On March 1st, Sawsan Bitar of Sabeel spoke at the clerical meeting of the Catholic Church about the ecumenical work of Sabeel. Over 200 seminarians and other students (both local and international) attended the meeting. The meeting was part of the Catholic Synod that is taking place in the country, the Middle East region, and the rest of the world. Most of the seminarians in the Holy Land are dogmatic and focus only on their own church traditions. This meeting was an opportunity to open the horizons and eyes of those who will become Christian clergy to accepting people who are different. The meeting was very well received.
