Christian Today – Christian Conference Focuses on Muslims in Europe
Christian Conference Focuses on Muslims in Europe
Christians from across Europe gathered in Leicester earlier in the month to engage in the issue of being Muslim within Europe. The Joint Committee for Relations with Muslims in Europe of the Conference of European Churches and the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences met from 3 to 6 May at St Philip’s Centre in Leicester, a Christian centre for study and engagement in a multi-faith society. The committee met two Muslim groups currently engaged in interfaith dialogue made up of seven men and three women from the Muslim community in Leicester and the staff from the Islamic Foundation in Markfield, Leicestershire.
Discussions with the groups focussed on the issues of being Muslim within Europe and the training of Imams and Christian clergy.
