EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Thirteen, Number Three May/June 2004 CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM DIALOGUE By Evan Silverstein Interfaith News Network March 2004 Acting on the belief that listening can promote better understanding, Christian and Muslim leaders from around the world will once again visit the United States to meet with the Interfaith Listening Project. This program, which promotes face-to- face dialogue between Christians and Muslims about living together in today's world, was created by the Presbyterian Church (USA) two years ago as an experiment in fostering mutual understanding and respect between Christians and Muslims. As in the pilot, two-member teams from 10 nations — one Christian from an overseas partner of the PC (USA) and one Muslim with whom the partner is in dialogue — will visit the United States from Sept 23 through Oct. 7. Christian-Muslim teams are expected from Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Niger, Pakistan, the Philippines and South Africa. The program is sponsored by the Worldwide Ministries Division and the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program, part of the Congregational Ministries Division (CMD). Home     Table of Contents
