Salim Gazal (July 7, 1931 – April 29, 2011) was a bishop in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church.
The center sponsors symposiums, lectures, conferences and weekly discussion groups to encourage inter-religious cooperation.
He received the Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award in 2007 for his 50-year commitment to Muslim-Christian dialogue.
Following the outpouring of grief and admiration for his life's work from all spheres of the Lebanese spectrum, the President of the Republic bestowed upon Bishop Ghazal the rank of Commander of The National Order of the Cedar.
At the request of Bishop Ghazal he was interred at his beloved Monastery of the Holy Saviour in Saida, Lebanon.
