Seminar on inter-religious dialogue
In order to share the international experience in the field of
building inter-religious dialogue, a one-day seminar was organized
with representatives from the Islamic-Christian Study Centre in
Copenhagen, Denmark to present their achievements in this area.
The seminar was held on September 13, 2004 at the premises of the
Faculty of Islamic Studies (morning session) and the Orthodox
Faculty (afternoon session). Most of the attendees were
representatives from the Faculty of Islamic Studies and the Islamic
religious community. The other participants included: Orthodox
Faculty and the Macedonian Orthodox Church, the United Methodist
Church, the Pre-Christian Community “Universal Life”, the Committee
for Relations with the Religious Communities and religious groups,
the humanitarian organization El Hilal and MCIC. The seminar was
attended by 70 participants.
The participants found the dialogue, the willingness for
cohabitation, the exchange of experience, the opportunity to learn
something new, the mutual contacts and the shared experience as most
useful.
