An insight into the many experiences, the research and relationships which surrounded and led to the writing of Chandler's most recent book, “Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road: Exploring a New Path Between Two Faiths”. A very timely presentation in which Paul-Gordon Chandler will help us break down the barriers between the two faiths of Christianity and Islam and show how the Western Cultural trappings tend to stand in our way of true insight and understanding, helping us to build better bridges by "waging peace" with deeper knowledge.

WORKSHOP--September 10th (Monday) at 2 PM
Title
: salaam on islam: forging peace with muslims in the spirit of christ
At a time when tensions run high between the "Islamic" East and the "Christian" West, the Rev. Paul-Gordon Chandler presents fresh thinking about how Christ, whom Muslims revere as a prophet and Christians serve as Lord, bridges the gap between the two religions. Chandler discusses how Christ can be "naturalized" on the Muslim road on the model of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi, widely read in the Arab world and a self-identified "Sufi Muslim follower of Christ." Building on the common Middle Eastern heritage that the Christian faith shares with Islam, Chandler stresses the importance of removing Western cultural and religious trappings associated with Christ in the minds of Muslims and encourages all to follow a Christ who first walked the Middle Eastern road.
