The Global Leadership Forum 2010: Evangelicals & Muslims, Perspectives on Mission and Partnership
Date:
Thursday, June 17, 2010 - 9:00am - 3:00pm
Location :
DC
GLF 2010 will feature an honest conversation between Muslims and Evangelicals about their shared values and unique perspectives on mission and partnership. The forum seeks to equip participants with a practical understanding of each faith tradition. It will feature four sessions.
The first session will explore concepts of faith and identity in each tradition, allowing panelists an opportunity to define themselves and describe how their respective identities determine how they live out their faiths. The second features a comparison of the Evangelical and Muslim understandings of mission and dawa, with special consideration for the contrasting beliefs on the meaning of “pluralism” when engaging in evangelizing and proselytizing. The third session will discuss practical approaches for Evangelicals and Muslims to partner with one another, offering real world examples for how to work together despite deep theological differences. In the fourth and final session, we will explore how Muslims and Christians can serve as partners towards reconciliation and conflict transformation.
In the end, we hope this conference will offer participants new perspectives about the potential for Muslim and Christian partnership, and will equip listeners of different faiths with practical tools for engaging in meaningful alliances with one another.
