Edinburgh will soon be hosting delegates from all over the world for the Edinburgh 2010 World Mission Conference “Witnessing to Christ Today”. During the conference the following open meeting will be held. You are welcome to attend.
Friday 4th June 2010
InterFaith public event
Mission to Muslims, or Mission with Muslims?
The pre Edinburgh consultation in Bangalore in summer 2009, posed this challenging question, as it reflected on the theme of Christian mission in a multi faith world. This question would never have been put in 1910, nor was there the same consciousness of the centrality of engagement with Islam globally and locally as is found in 2010. On this evening, we will look at questions of mission and conversion, and working together for the common good, with the aid of case studies from St Philip’s Leicester; Gothenburg, Sweden; and Scotland itself. Delegates and others will be encouraged to reflect on their own context, in the light of contributions from leading Christians and Muslims from these places. The Event will be 7.30pm on Fri 4th June at St Peter’s Scottish Episcopal Church on Lutton Place, Newington EDINBURGH
