Tantur Ecumenical Institute

The Tantur Ecumenical Institute serves as an "oasis" in the Holy Land for encountering sacred people, traditions, and places. We welcome groups and individuals from all walks of life including: clergy and members of religious orders who wish to spend time in the Holy Land; teachers, students, and conference attendees; university and church groups or organizations; individual guests and scholars seeking enrichment; and spiritual sojourners of all faiths. 

To facilitate prayer, study, and contemplation for this diverse audience, we offer a variety of Continuing Education and Sabbatical programs, each of which includes a variety of lectures and excursions, designed to introduce participants to the Holy Land's geography, history, local people, complex religious life, and Biblical landscape.
