"This came to my mailbox in the morning and thought I would pass it on to
everyone. Wish I could go, being so close, but I have putting in long
hours at work. The conference is building on the issues discussed and reconciled at last year's conference which I posted below. Miriam

Iraqi Religious Leaders to meet in Amman, Jordan April 22

AMMAN (JT) — Jordan will host a meeting of Iraq's top Sunni, Shiite and
Kurdish religious and tribal leaders on April 22 in a bid to stem
sectarian violence and tension in the neighbouring country, an official
statement said Wednesday.

The Iraqi Islamic Reconciliation Summit, organised in cooperation
between Aal al Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought and the Arab League,
will provide a “forum for Iraqi leaders to take a crucial step towards
stemming the violence in Iraq,” according to an institute statement.
King Abdullah will join the delegates in a call for an end to bloodshed
and religious tension in Iraq. The summit is expected to issue a
declaration signed by all participants that fighting between Shiite and
Sunnis “has no legitimate religious basis.” "
