Asslaamu alaikum

‘Dialogue is the serious address and response between two persons, in which the being and truth of each is confronted by the being and truth of the other. It involves relationship and words and seeks to know life through the other person.’ Reuel Howe

We’re keen to ‘know life’ through our new friends, most of whom seem to Muslim. Along with Chawkat Moucarry, we believe that ‘true tolerance is to accept the other, not by ignoring the distance between us, but by measuring that distance accurately and by recognizing that whoever wants to cross over has the right and the freedom to do so. Only love can create the necessary conditions for the truth to emerge’.

Only love can create the necessary conditions for the truth to emerge.
