Christian Muslim Forum
The Christian Muslim Forum is built on friendship between a group of Christians and Muslims, showing how faith is a catalyst for good relationships and welcomes the ‘other’. This friendship began with a small group of Muslims and Christians working on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Initiative in Christian-Muslim Relations.
The Christian Muslim Forum is made up of members of the Muslim and Christian communities – Sunni, Shi’a, Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist and Coptic Orthodox – and includes various traditions, Evangelicals, Deobandis, Barelwis, Sufis. We believe that:
- the time is right for Christians and Muslims to develop strong and committed relationships
- we can work together for the benefit of both faith communities and wider society
- faith is a resource for peace, conflict resolution, understanding and the valuing of all human beings
- friendship between people of different faiths is encouraged by our traditions
