How can we invite our Muslim friends to free, live performances of the Easter story? Find out how to work with Muslim friends to seek understanding and reconciliation in all aspects of the rehearsal and production of contemporary Passion Plays.
The Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies in Oxford published a guide titled ‘Christians, Muslims…and the Bible‘ with input from both Christian and Muslim scholars with the intention to be ‘non-partisan whilst not ignoring difficult or controversial issues and histories.’ They write:
There is likely to be ongoing divergence between Christians and Muslims, but there is also great scope for fruitful discussion, and improved mutual comprehension.
Translations of the Bible into Muslim-majority languages and public performances of the Gospel story through Passion Plays are contributions to this kind of fruitful discussion and improved mutual comprehension.
What can we do to make our Muslim friends feel welcome?
