Inter-Faith Relations in
General and Muslim-Christian Ties In Particular Present a Baffling
Challenge to the World: International Seminar in Delhi
Building Communities of Peace: Muslim-Christian Relations in Asia

One
of the baffling challenges that the religionists the world over face
today is that of inter-faith relations in general and Muslim-Christian
ties in particular. Given the history of intense conflicts and grave
injustices perpetrated by both communities, the adherents of the two
largest religions of the world are laden with the burden of harsh
memories. While the history witnessed the bitter reality of the
Crusades, the present plight of Christians in many parts of the Muslim
world continues to create misconceptions about Islam in the minds of
many Christians. In such an environment which actually seems to promote
division, a two-day international seminar on “Building Communities of
Peace: Muslim-Christian Relations in Asia” gave glad tidings to the
mainstream peace-loving Muslims and Christians. This event was jointly
organised by Henry Martyn Institute (Hyderabad), Zakir Hussain Institute
of Islamic Studies (New Delhi), Indialogue Foundation (New Delhi) and
Islamic Studies Association (Delhi).
