How should Christians relate to Muslims? In a society increasingly polarised and divided by fear, what does it mean for Christians to love their Muslim neighbours as they love themselves? Gaining understanding of Islam is a necessary place from which to begin. This day course will provide you with an opportunity to dig a bit deeper into how Muslims live out their faith in the UK today.
