Europe/Middle East forum urges practical grassroots ties

Warsaw, Poland (ENInews)--Inter-faith initiatives should focus on the

Stolov, founder and executive director of the Jerusalem-based Interfaith
Encounter Association, which promotes peace in the Middle East and sponsors
regular Palestinian-Israeli encounters. [709 words, ENI-11-0251]
