Jews, Christians, and Muslims working together

Twinning Muslim and Jewish congregations

November 19, 2008

JTA reports on a great initiative to “twin” Jewish and Muslim congregations across the USA.  The programme was kicked off by a weekend themed “Confronting Islamophobia and Antisemitism Together”, an indicator that American Jews and Muslims are making earnest attempts to reach beyond the Middle East conflict to join hands in battling prejudices within and against their communities.

Far from there being “too many dialogues“, the more point-to-point connections we develop, the stronger we are as a community of communities.  While we can rely on our umbrella organisations to support our endeavours, the real progress is made by people getting to know, and working with, other people.

What is your religious group doing to extend its hand in friendship to others?
