The meeting provided a unique opportunity to affirm the bonds of friendship, understanding and cooperation that have been forged between Orthodoxy and Judaism over recent decades in particular by the Ecumenical Patriarchate under the leadership of His All Holiness Bartholomew.
Among the principle affirmations of the colloquium were the commitment to freedom of religion and conscience, the repudiation of all bigotry and especially violence - in particular when such is used in the name of religion, and thus a commitment to work together to combat all negative prejudice and persecution, especially on religious grounds. The conference was hosted by the Israeli Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic Ms. Irit Ben Abba and the attendees were also privileged to enjoy a special concert of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s String Quartet at the Acropolis Museum which also celebrated the milestone in Greece-Israel relations.
