Christian-Muslim relations are becoming an ever-more important issue. World population growth estimates indicate that around 2070 the number of Muslims will surpass the number of Christians. For peace’s sake, we must learn the art of dialogue:
- By teaching together about each other’s religions (p. 2)
- By telling positive stories to balance the negative stereotypes (p. 3)
- By celebrating religious feasts together (p. 4)
- By acknowledging the God-given truths and values in each other’s traditions (see insert)
- By sharing food together (p. 5)
- By working together on shared issues (p. 6)
- By embracing diversity as part of God’s plan (see Youth PoWR, p. 7)
- Join in the coming events (p.8)
We wish blessings on our Muslim sisters and brothers for the month of Ramadan.
