UR, Iraq — The Governorate of Dhi Qar in Iraq announced the beginning of construction of an Interfaith Dialogue Center that will include Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Sabadean houses of worship, in addition to an interfaith dialogue hall and forum. The Interfaith Dialogue Center is being constructed in the city of Ur, one of the most important archaeological religious areas in the country.

The Assistant Governor of Dhi Qar for Planning Affairs, Ghassan al-Khafaji, stated that the project began by granting a license to build the first church at the site. The project extends over an area of 10,000 square meters. The work location was handed over to the investor several days ago and a company specialized in infrastructure construction started the work.

Al-Khafaji added that work is still underway to develop a basic plan for the city of Ur.

“Where is the Interfaith Dialogue Center?”
“Ur.”
“Well, where is it?”
“Ur.”
“Look, if you don’t know, just say so!”
“Ur.”
“GOOD GRIEF!”

I have an old clipping:

“FOR USE DURING THE WEEEK OF JANUARY 21, 1945....if the Mohammedians...go to church at all, they stand on the outside and listen, lest they be identified with the Christians and made to suffer persecutions.”

Where Abraham was from. God told him to leave that place of idolatry.

Not familiar with Sabadeans. Must be of local importance.
