Tackling the challenge of Islam in the UK
from Christian Concern:
Nabila Roukhamieh-Mckinna reports on the recent Mission of God conference and explains the key takeaways and important subjects tackled by speakers
Christian Concern, in partnership with the Ezra Centre for Christian Thought, held the annual Mission of God conference in Birmingham on Saturday 2 November.
Over 170 Christians gathered from across the country, in a city that is 30% Muslim, to learn about the challenge of Islam and how Christians should respond.
The palpable enthusiasm in the crowded conference room was a testament to the pertinence of the subject to the lives of ordinary Christians, who are becoming acutely aware of the need to be equipped for their increasing encounters with Islam and Muslims.
The Crescent and the Cross
Director of the Ezra Institute Joe Boot began the conference by comparing the foundations of Islamic and Christian culture. Contrasting two diametrically opposed understandings of God’s nature, the Islamic doctrine of Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, Joe elucidated the cultural implications of these doctrines.
