An international consultation on Muslim-Christian relations ended with a “call for the formation of a joint working group which can be mobilized whenever a crisis threatens to arise in which Christians and Muslims find themselves in conflict” today in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Some 60 Muslim and Christian leaders and scholars had participated in the 4-day international consultation on “Transforming Communities: Christians and Muslims Building a Common Future” at the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva, site of the World Council of Churches (WCC) central offices.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement presented to the media on 4 November, the participants stated that “Religion is often invoked in conflict creation, even when other factors, such as unfair resource allocation, oppression, occupation and injustice, are the real roots of conflict. We must find ways to \u2018disengage\u2019 religion from such roles and \u2018reengage\u2019 it towards conflict resolution and compassionate justice.”<\/p>\n

The statement also affirms the\u00a0“importance of relevant and balanced education about the religion of \u2018the other\u2019 at all levels” of religious education. The group recommends that the organizers of the consultation \u2013 the WCC, the World Islamic Call Society, the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute and the Consortium of A Common Word \u2013 should establish a joint project in order to promote the sharing of experiences and best practices “of living together constructively in plural societies” and building a “culture of dialogue and inter-religious cooperation”, and work together on social and environmental issues.<\/p>\n
