In February 2004, a conference was held on 'Managing Muslim-Christian Relations: Educational Policy Options'. This involved local academics, leaders, and those involved in the educational enterprise, as well as a number of individuals from overseas (particularly south-east Asia). Participants were hosted at Trinity college, and workshops held over three days.

Assalaam walaikum everybody and Eid Mubarak!
As we approach Eid ul-Adha I have been reflecting on the story of Abraham and his son (Peace and blessings be upon them both) and Allah's request for human sacrifice. (You will notice that in deference to the clash of traditional Jewish and Islamic interpretations of whether Isaac or Ismail was involved I will only talk about Abraham's eldest son or his 'righteous son' and I will let you decide on who was involved).
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best who have strayed from His Path and who receive guidance." The Qur'an 2:125 (tr. Yusuf Ali)
