Christian-Muslim Dialogue Series
Hosted by Scarboro Missions and Noor Cultural Centre
Over four evenings, a small group of Christians and Muslims will meet to discuss issues of common concern. The sessions will begin with a short presentation from one member of each faith group on the assigned topic, followed by discussion in small groups of equal numbers of Muslims and Christians and finally a group plenary session in which individuals share particular insights or thoughts inspired in them by what has gone before.
