A Christian-Muslim spiritual summit that will be held at the Maronite Archbishopric of Beirut on Tuesday is aimed at keeping contact between the two religions, Maronite Archbishop of Beirut Boulos Matar said.

Media reports said that all the heads of sects are expected to attend except for Grand Mufti Mohammed Rashid Qabbani who tasked the secretary of Dar al-Fatwa, Sheikh Amin al-Kurdi, to represent him because he is recuperating after a surgery in his back. [Naharnet]
