(Albert Outler, Tantur, 1972) The mission of the Tantur Ecumenical Institute is to: * To work toward the unity of Christians (ecumenism); * To contribute to positive relations between peoples of the Abrahamic faiths (Interfaith, interreligious dialogue); * To be agent for the reconciliation of peoples in conflict (peacebuilding, especially with respect to the Arab-Israeli Conflict/Israeli-Palestinian Conflict).
