Interfaith dialogue

I think the article, "Building bridges of respect" in The Star today is cool.

Looks like there are people among the grassroots who are interested in interfaith dialogues.

I was listening to the Kairos Public Forum for Christians on THE REAL JESUS CHRIST OF HISTORY: Jesus of The Bible versus Jesus of the Documentaries (National Geographic/Discovery /BBC) when towards the end of the forum a Muslim man stood up and greeted us, "Shalom" and told Kairos to organise an interfaith forum on Jesus of the Bible and Jesus of the Quran. The director of the Kairos said he welcomed such dialogue, as he had had dialogues and debates with Muslim scholars in the past, but it has to be done with care.

While seeing a couple of curious Muslims coming to the forum in church was refreshing, the man's suggestion was really unexpected. If only many Malaysians are as open-minded.

I hope many more Malaysians would have meaningful dialogues and try and understand each other. This could enable us to live in peace and harmony.
