Successful Dialogue

Wednesday 7th May saw an exceptionally good turnout for the first in a series of five workshops entitled 'Dialogue'.

The workshops, lead by Jenny Dann and based on a study pack produced by the CMS (Church Mission Society), are designed to help Christians and others understand and relate to Muslims and Islam (see our Workshops section for more details).

We were fortunate in gaining valuable additional insights from several participants with first-hand experience of working in Muslim countries.

By the end of this first workshop it was generally agreed that we 'need to know more' - the balanced approach adopted in the course materials opened up many issues for discussion without imposing any definite conclusions or judgements. As a result, the discussions were vigorous, wide-ranging, and often contentious.

It's not too late to get involved- do try to find the time to join us
