Christian and Muslim leaders are gathered in Geneva for a high-level\u00a0interfaith<\/a>\u00a0dialogue on how to build strong and sustainable relationships between the two groups and how the religious communities can use their resources to transform their communities.<\/p>\n

The four-day event titled, \u201cTransforming Communities: Christians and Muslims Building a Common Future,\u201d is inspired by the historic 2007 letter by 138 Muslim scholars called, \u201cA Common Word.\u201d Dr. Muhammad Ahmed Al-Sharif, general secretary of the World Islamic Call Society, and His Royal Highness, Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal of Jordan, the initiator of the letter, are attending the event that is being hosted at the World Council of Churches\u2019\u00a0Ecumenical<\/a>\u00a0Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe central theme of our conference affirms that dialogue is important but that we also need to address issues of common concern and act together \u2013 putting the common good at the heart of our joint initiative so as to promote \u2018dialogue in action,\u201d said the Rev. Dr. Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the\u00a0WCC<\/a>, in his welcome address on Monday. Click here<\/a> to continue reading.<\/p>\n
