Our Lady of Peace Centre Committees

 

About 97 % of Jordanian society is Moslems and 3 % are Christians.
The Centre promotes ecumenism and dialogue with Muslims and Christians of good will.
The dialogue we intend, does not require talking, but needs work to be accomplished.


The idea behind forming voluntary committees was to provide a mechanism for Christian and Muslim citizens to participate in voluntary activities inside and outside the Center.

This Centre also aims at spreading awareness in regards to the rights of People with Disabilities. The committees have been established in different areas of the kingdom and volunteers from both Christian and Muslim faiths practice their beliefs through their work in the local communities.

Through the work of these committees, the Center encourages dialogue between Christians and Muslims, moving it a step forward from theory to implementation and mutual cooperation. By doing so, the Center fosters interfaith collaboration and cooperation, an issue which certainly has a positive impact on society at large.

The Committee is a meeting point for seekers of human and national goals. Where people “especially the youth “could freely express themselves and their needs and participate actively to respond to the needs of the others including People with Disabilities.

The Committee acts as the bridge that links and relates the citizens (Muslims and Christians) through providing chances for people to work together in achieving the goals of the center and helping the individual with special need and hence weakening and eliminating barriers between Muslim and Christian citizens.

The Committee supports dialogue between Muslims and Christians through allowing both sides to meet each other and work together thus discovering the “Other”.

The Committee is working towards creating a new reality and a new future of “love, joy, peace, patience.


From this faith and believes, we have established the committees (volunteers) of the center (2001) who in turn have organized different programs that support the People with Disabilities and their rights as citizens and our duties towards them in cooperation with the different governmental establishments, Schools and citizens. Programs that have been performed by the committees so far include Marches, exhibitions, seminars, dramas, field studies and different awareness programs especially at schools.
