InterFaith event - Friday 4th June
at St Peter’s Church, Lutton Place, Newington
Mission to Muslims, or Mission with Muslims? The pre Edinburgh consultation in Bangalore in summer 2009, posed this challenging question, as it reflected on the theme of Christian mission in a multi faith world. This question would never have been put in 1910, nor was there the same consciousness of the centrality of engagement with Islam globally and locally as is found in 2010. This event gives opportunity to look at questions of mission and conversion, and working together for the common good, with the aid of case studies from St Philip’s Leicester; Gothenburg, Sweden; and Scotland itself. Delegates and others will be encouraged to reflect on their own context, in the light of contributions from leading Christians and Muslims from these places.
