Jews, Christians, and Muslims working together

Spain to host Abrahamic dialogue in July

June 23, 2008

Reuters reports that Saudi Arabia and Spain have agreed to hold an interfaith dialogue of Muslims, Christians and Jews in Madrid in July.

“The dialogue, called for by King Abdullah after he won the backing of Sunni and Shi’ite clerics at a meeting in Mecca this month, will be held on July 16-18 by the Saudi-based World Muslim League, the Saudi Press Agency said.”

The dialogue will cover life in human societies, international cooperation, human rights, and issues of security, peace and living together in the world.

Iran’s former president Rafsanjani said that the meeting would also cover Western influence in the Muslim world, including issue around Iraq and Palestine.

Let’s pray for the ability of the attendees to listen as well as talk …
