Invitation to the 4th Conference of Arabic Christian Studies, Rome October 30, 2026

[Davide Righi]

Dear scholars and friends,

At this dramatic moment, as some wars rages in the Middle East, which we hope will soon end with a similar wish for that in Ukraine, I would like to draw your attention to the 4th Conference of Christian Arabic Studies organized by GRAC Association:
https://www.grac.it/home/index.php 

(see also the attachment for the call for papers in Italian and English) and extend a cordial invitation to participate. This conference will be held in a single day, morning and afternoon, in Rome at the Pontifical Oriental Institute this fall, on October 30, 2026.

The title of the conference is
Between East and West: the Arab-Christian cultural heritage witness to the coexistence of different religious traditions.

Submission of Proposals and Timeline
Scholars from history, theology, philosophy, art history, anthropology, manuscript studies, global intellectual history, and related disciplines are invited to contribute to a renewed and theoretically informed understanding of Arab Christian cultural heritage as a bridge across
interconnected worlds.
Paper proposals (maximum 300 words), in Italian or English, could be sent to in...@grac.it by 29 May 2026.
Proposals must include:
• Title
• Abstract
• Short biographical note (maximum 150 words)
• Institutional affiliation
• Email contact details
Notification of acceptance will be communicated by the Conference Scientific Committee by 8 June 2026.

Happy Easter!

Best regards,

Davide Righi

Carissimo Davide, sto preparando per la stampa la storia della Chiesa della Navicella a Roma tenuta dal Ordine Basiliano Hannouita (Aleppino - Chouerita) dal 1729 al 1773, scritta dal P. Costantino Trabulsi. Non so se questo tema vi interessa o potra fare parte delle conference di ottobre prossimo. Per favore fami sapere cosa ne pensi. Grazie. Mgr Mikhail Abrass O.B.A.
