The Ecumenical Center for Pilgrims and Biblical Studies
- The visit of Pope Francis to Palestine in 2014 touched the hearts of all believers. His demonstration of love to all human beings, regardless of origin or religion, prompted us to establish the Ecumenical Center for Pilgrims and Biblical Studies as a way to promote this message to all interested people from all over the world.
- The Ecumenical Center for Pilgrims and Biblical Studies (ECPBS) was established with the co-ordination of the churches. The ECPBS is registered with the authorities in the Holy Land and managed by highly qualified staff and lecturers who have a rich experience of the Holy Land. The Center is located south of Jerusalem in Bethlehem.
- The ECPBS serves pilgrims, retirees, clergy, principals and teachers, and students from all over the world. Our center provides lectures, and full accommodations, as well as field trips to most of the historical and religious sites in the Holy Land. Our programs also give the chance to all participants to live the Bible and meet the local people from different denominations. This project was definitely inspired by his Holiness Pope Francis.
ECPBS welcomes groups from all over the world including:
- Groups of Christian communities
- Clergy Groups
- Laypeople Groups
- University Students
- Individual Groups
- Seminarians
- Palestinians abroad
