In the Image of God: Engaging our Muslim Neighbors with Love Out Of The Margins

Interfaith dialogues, especially those between Christians and Muslims, have had a far from peaceful history. However, as our communities steadily become more culturally and religiously diverse, Christians in the West are going to have to start considering what it will look like to have open dialogues with our Muslim Neighbours. If we are going to take seriously the call to be Salt and Light in our communities, we need to know how to repair these fractured relationships and seek peace as we engage respectfully with our religious neighbours. As always the key is to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before us.

This week we speak to Dr. Anwar Berhe, a Langham Scholar and ex-Muslim from Ethiopia. Anwar is a foremost expert in his field in Christian-Muslim relations, having completed his doctorate in Islamic Studies at Melbourne School of Theology  and has founded a ministry that has seen tens of thousands of Muslims come to Christ. He shows us how we can demonstrate the love of Christ by treating our Muslim Neighbours as what they are; people.

We also speak to Dr. Aldrin M. Peñamora a Langham Scholar from the Philippines, who’s work and expertise in peacemaking and the study  of Christian-Muslim relations has seen tectonic shifts in the politics of his nation. He shares with us how Christians can be at the heart of global change when it comes to seeking out the downtrodden in our societies.
