Inter faith

I am a great believer that many problems in this world are caused by lack of understanding, and that if we spoke to each other we might actually learn to get along.  It is a great honour for me then to have been asked by one of the local Mosques to go along and give a talk on the Christian faith to a number of their members.  I am hoping that I can portray us as being very similar (ie we don’t really understand each other, but we aren’t all that different in reality).  Both sides get bad press from the more militant sections of the others faith, and both sides share a common heritage.  If you ever take the opportunity to read the Qu’ran you’ll see what I mean.

However for me the most important part of the whole thing is that they want to understand our faith and get rid of the misconceptions, which I think is brilliant.  I would love someone to post here and tell me about a Church inviting an Imam to explain Islam to them, but somehow I doubt I will.

Please, prove me wrong.
