Muslims and Christians at the Table


The image of sharing good news around a table has not always been used to describe the historic encounter of Christians and Muslims. Their first meeting took place on the battlefields of the Crusades. 

Among both Muslims and Christians a trail of bitterness has left its indelible stain. Misunderstandings and media stereotypes have cast clouds of confusion. 

Bruce and Carolyn Pinke bring over twenty years of experience of living and working cross-culturally throughout West Africa and Europe. Muslims and Christians at the Table,” a seminar and ministry approach, suggests another path, a journey of understanding.
