Muslim-Christian Relations...
There is a contemporary New Charter for Muslim Christian Relations that is contained in the Muslim Letter to the Christian Leaders of the World. The Letter was sent by 138 Muslim Scholars, Mufti, Imams, Theologians and Academicians (by far the widest consensus among the Muslim Scholars and Ulama). Today there are above 500 more doctors, theologians, and jurists and muftis that have joined the original 138 Muslim scholars. The title of the Letter is "Common Word between Us and You..." issued at the end of Ramadan in 2007.
It is the contemporary reading and interpretation of the Qur'an and the Tradition of the Prophet in the contemporary world of multi-culturalism!
The letter is a MUST read for All Muslims and Christians as well...!
The "Custodian" of the Letter is the Bayt Foundation (The House of the Prophet Foundation) under the Royal patronage of the Hashimite Kingdom of Jordan.
Friends who need to read a copy may either download it from Google by simply searching for it and type Common Word. An easy way is to give me your email address to my messenger... and I will send you the copy...
Yesterday, I launched the presentation of the Common Word at the Divine Mercy Spiritual Center in Tamontaka, Dinaig, Maguindanao. I posted the 15 slides in the power point presentation for your reflection...
I will organize a special session of people interested in Muslim-Christian Relations to reflect and study more the Letter - the Common Word between Us and You...
Paz y Bien!
