ope John Paul II issued a
call for peace and interre-
ligious dialogue as he
began a historic pilgrim-
age to Israel this week, the first
papal visit here in 36 years.
"I pray that my visit will serve to
encourage an increase of interreli-
gious dialogue between the Jews,
Christians and Muslims to seek in
their respective beliefs a universal
brotherhood that unites all mem-
bers of the human family," the pope
said at.a welcoming ceremony at
Ben-Gurion airport outside Tel
Aviv.
The pope arrived on a Royal
Jordanian flight from Amman,
where he began the weeklong mil-
lennium pilgrimage that is includ-
ing Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian
self-rule areas.
He was greeted on the tarmac by
three Israeli children — Jewish,
Muslim and Christian — who pre-
sented him with a bowl full of
earth, which the pope kissed.

ister then met the pope, and he was
