Towards a New Liberation Theology: Reflections on Palestine Sunday, 12 June 2005
A one day conference organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission and Neda, and supported by Innovative Minds, the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Justice for Palestine Committee, Crescent International, Neturei Karta, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Committee. An open and robust one day conference discussing the role of faith in
liberation
struggles. Religion, particularly in the
Palestinian context,
has
been portrayed as a hindrance to peace
and not as a methodology for liberation.
This conference aims to discuss the role
religion plays in
the
lives of peoples' struggling for justice,
looking at other liberation
struggles
as well as the Palestinian cause.
Speakers come from a variety of faith
and non-faith backgrounds and
include Rabbi Yisroel Weiss, Rev. Stephen
Sizer, Fr. Joe McVeigh,
Professor Ilan Pappe, Sara Al-Khurshid,
Dr. Ghada Ramahi, Imam Muhammad
Al-Asi, Dr. Saied Reza Ameli and Imam
Achmad Cassiem.
Participation is without charge, but
attendees need to register for
tickets beforehand. Please call the
Islamic Human Rights Commission on
(+44) 20 8904 4222 or email conference@ihrc.org.
