A. Institutions of Higher Education
Bethlehem University
Bethlehem University was founded in order to provide the Christian community in the Holy Land with the opportunity to acquire a higher education. In the spring of 1973, the hierarchy and those responsible for education in the diocese suggested the creation of a university at the College run by the Christian Brothers (Collège des Frères) in Bethlehem. The proposal was accepted. Under the direction of three American Brothers, the University opened its doors on October 1, 1973.

Ecumenical Institute for Theological Studies

Tantur Ecumenical Institute for Theological Studies
After his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1964, Pope Paul VI created an Ecumenical Institute for Theological Research in Jerusalem to foster a better understanding between Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans and Protestants. The Institute is under the jurisdiction of the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem and operates in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame in the United States.

Located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the Institute welcomes Christians of all denominations: scholars, members of the clergy, religion teachers, men and women, married and single, most of whom receive financial help from their respective institutions. A certain number of students receive scholarships from the Institute itself. Several programs are available, among them a Scholars' Program which affords students the opportunity to pursue research in a residential community of learning. The scholars in this program meet from time to time in colloquia to discuss each others' work.

The various programs are pursued according to the aims of the Institute which are:

• 
  To assist the search for Christian unity and interchurch harmony among diverse Christian communions.
  
• 
  To explore the relationship between Christians and peoples of other world faiths, especially Jews and Muslims.
  
• 
  To participate in the search for world peace and justice, through theological study and by exploring human rights and conflict resolution in different religious and social contexts.
