Charting a New Direction of Christian-Muslim Relations
As President of the Royal Ghassanid Academy of Arts and Sciences I am pleased to report on the recognition of the Ghassanid Royal House by the world's largest non-governmental body of Muslim leaders.
Leading figures in the world’s largest Muslim organization and the world’s largest Evangelical Christian organization announced today that they are undertaking an ambitious joint effort to reshape how the world thinks about religion and to counter two threats to religious freedom and to society more broadly: religious extremism and secular extremism.
As part of their task in the field of dialogue with Muslim leaders, Christine and Thomas Schirrmacher gave a double guest lecture on “Christian-Muslim Relations in an Age of Political Conflict and Migration” at St Paul’s Theological College in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
Thomas Schirrmacher, Associate Secretary General for Theological Concerns of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), met the Grand Mufti of Kazakhstan, Serikbay Oraz, during a conference in Baku to prepare his subsequent short visit to Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan.
The two scholars of world religions of WEA responsible for the relations with the leaders of other religions visited mosques in Kuwait and the seven Emirates of the UAE.
The Associate Secretary General responsible for the interreligious dialogue of the World Evangelical Alliance has now made his speech at the dialogue conference of the governments of Azerbaijan and Germany in Berlin available.
