Martin Luther King, Jr. Workshop

“A Common word Between Us and You”

 

January 19, 2008

 

The following were suggestions of next steps that might be taken by those in attendance at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Workshop on building relationships between the Muslim and Christian community. The thrust of the dialog suggested that we had common ground in the areas of  “loving God” and “loving neighbor”

 

Where Do We Go From Here?

 

Continue dialogue

 

Visit (respective) rural communities with a “road show” strengthening understanding

 

Stop “tolerating” and begin “loving”

 

Do things together to show love of neighbor (e.g. CROP walk to relieve world hunger)

 

Small groups of Muslim and Christian women

 

Bring in other faith groups

 

Bring dialogue into African American churches

 

Involve young people from an early age

 

More cultural exchanges

 

Lodge follow-up with Interfaith Partnership

 

Individuals start cultural exchanges

 

Cross-cultural reading exchanges

 

Joint worship experiences where appropriate

 

Begin with talking points for leaders

 

Muslims are not extremists / terrorists (urged by young people)
