Engaging Islam Today
5 - 11 December 2021
Who is the course for?
This course takes place in December every year and is designed for those who have a particular interest in Muslim people. If you are currently involved in or preparing to work in Muslim countries or among ethnic minorities in the West, or if you are simply interested in studying Islam, then you will find this course invaluable.
What is the programme?
Amidst current world realities many are asking "what are we to think?", "what are we to do?" and this course gives you the opportunity to learn from a range of speakers sharing insights from a depth of experience and academic understanding. This course aims to enable Christians to better understand the roots and realities of Islam and how to respond in a way that is Biblical, sensitive, informed and bold. Sessions will include lectures and interactive case studies, role plays and practical activities related to engaging with Muslims. There will also be time for private study and sharing of personal experiences and insights.
This week long course will conclude with a special Saturday event that is also open to the public.
