Baptists and Muslims Pledge to Continue Dialogue

Baptist and Muslims Pledge to Continue Dialogue

Brian Kaylor, reporting for EthicsDaily.com has written today about the first ever Muslim-Baptist dialogue ever, held this past Jan. 9-11 at the Islamic Center of Boston and Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, Mass. Nearly 80 Baptist and Muslims leaders from accross the country. Themes discussed were their shared history and the common mistrust and such that has hindered their dialog in the past.

A statment was produced from the meetings that comstituents were able to take home and look over it and then sign their name upon it if they feel that they can abide by the statements therein. Hopefully this will be an ongoing event for future dialog between these two groups!
