An international team representing the World Council of Churches (WCC) and its longstanding dialogue partner the Center for Inter-religious Dialogue in Tehran held the seventh round of dialogue under the theme “Modernity and Spirituality”, leading to a stimulating exchange with their Shia Muslim counterparts.
There has been an on-going series of meetings between the WCC and the Center for Inter-religious Dialogue in Tehran beginning in 1995. The papers offered in the meeting ranged widely over the topic, making it clear that for both Muslims and Christians, the possibilities – and difficulties - presented by modernity were a creative challenge to their faiths. |
