Muslim-Christian Dialogue

Regular readers of Voice in the Desert will already be familiar with its sister (or should that be brother?) blog, Under the Acacias.

Keith Smith, who writes Under the Acacias, encouraged me to come and work in Africa, then taught me all he knew about Fulani ministry. One of his many inspirational anecdotes can be read in this year's June edition of Christianity magazine, also available online as The Day I Preached in a Mosque.

It's a fun little article, and encapsulates his 'common ground' approach to Christian-Muslim dialogue.

Christians sometimes get nervous when they hear talk of dialogue, but there really is no need. Muslims, Jews and Christians have a common back-story to celebrate - a story which provides the context for an extraordinary event: the explosive arrival of self-sacrificial Love on the scene of religion.
