Conference Schedule

The aim of this conference is to bring together Catholic and Muslim dialogue leaders from Indonesia, Israel-Palestine, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom for the purposes of becoming more familiar with the global dimensions of Catholic-Muslim dialogue, thus strengthening and encouraging an important effort in global peacebuilding. The participants will each be addressing the following questions: What is the state of the dialogue in your region? What are the greatest challenges you have faced in the dialogue and how have you addressed them? What might learnings from the dialogue in your region contribute to a developing ‘theology of dialogue’ in your religious tradition.
