ITEMS OF INTEREST

with contributions from Larry B. Stammer, Bob Mackin

Members of a relatively new organization called the Christian-Muslim Consultative Group have developed [a new educational program called Standing Together] and say they hope it will become a national model. In seven sessions, the program seeks to educate Christians and Muslims about one another's beliefs and customs, and to encourage dialogue and understanding that lead to concrete cooperative actions.
