Front door of the Coptic School in the Old City |
The Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity in Israel (ETRFI) was founded in Jerusalem in 1966. Members include representatives of academia, Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Churches and laity, both locally and overseas. ETRFI serves to deepen the Christian relationship with Jews, Judaism and Israel by drawing together the different Christian traditions into a theological fraternity.
Coptic Orthodox Community Support
For many years the Ecumenical Fraternity has been enabled to support the St. Dimiana Coptic Orthodox School (primary) in the Old City of Jerusalem. The school accepts both Christian and Moslem children. Most of the teaching is done in the Arabic language. Many come from impoverished families for whom going to the school is a privilege.
