Porvoo-consultation in Edinburgh, Scotland on Christian-Muslim Relations, December 1-4, 2008

The consultation was hosted by the Scottisch Episcopal Church and from each of the Porvoo-countries one Christian and one Muslim had been invited. The reasoning behgind the decision to invite both Christians and Muslims "sas because the Consultation will be an opportunity, in part for the Porvoo Churches to discuss their responses to A Common Word and to share their responses with their Muslim neighbours. It is also an important opportunity to compare notes on our local experience of Christian-Muslim relations and to reflect on it and on governmenty policy in our respective countries.... Therefor, the consultation is to talk with people from another faith not about them."
