Muslim and Christian Dialogues

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had
given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the
most important?"

 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 12



In the Gospels Jesus says that the greatest commandments are to love God and love
one’s neighbor.

Loving one’s neighbor means going beyond tolerating differences. It means working
toward deep understanding of each other, to listen and learn from those who follow different faith traditions.

For nearly two decades the Minnesota Council of Churches has sponsored a series of monthly dialogues with the Islamic Center of Minnesota. During the two-hour session theological scholars present a different aspect of faith and then participants have time to ask questions of the presenters and of each other. The dialogues occur on the third Sunday of every month, September through May, at the Islamic Center of Minnesota. They are free and open to the public.


Upcoming Dialogue Topics and Presenters:

The Muslim Christian Dialogues do not meet in the summer months.

The next dialogue will be on Sunday, September 21, 2008.

Enjoy your summer!
