I am recently returned from an interfaith experience that took me to Istanbul to do Ramadaan for six days with a Muslim family. What an challenge to my prejudices and evangelical faith. Firstly, I found an unacknowledged presence of Jesus in the lives of my hosts. I found it profoundly embarressing to visit the ancient Christian sites and face up to 1000 years of Christian history in the presence of my Muslim hosts. I found that the Jesus they knew was their experience of American invasions. How ashamed I felt at times that I was a Christian. How comforted by my host who shared how he felt the same about Muslim fanatic’s. I would urge everyone to meet and engage with a Muslim, not to convert but to understand – in the same way as we need to look deep into the eyes of gays and women finding their ways to abortion clinic’s.
