by Tony Blair
First published 2002
Tony Blair presents the proceedings of a groundbreaking interfaith dialogue held at Lambeth Palace in January 2002. Forty Christian and Muslim scholars from diverse nations converged for two intensive days to address a pressing question: how can followers of these two major world religions build genuine understanding and trust? The Archbishop of Canterbury hosted the seminar, while the Prime Minister provided support and Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan offered cooperation. All three leaders contribute opening essays to this collection. The book captures both the formal presentations delivered by participants and the spirited discussions that followed. These scholars brought varied cultural perspectives and deep expertise to bear on age-old tensions between their faiths. Their collective wisdom points toward practical pathways for reconciliation and mutual respect between Christianity and Islam.
