(Gafcon) Engaging with Islam – Mini Conference Statement

We encourage Anglican Christians everywhere to understand the faith of Muslims, to love them, befriend them, and witness to them, building upon what Muslims already know of Jesus Christ in order to lead to what they do not yet know: that is the fullness of the Christian Gospel.

Gathered as we are in Kenya, we rejoice that Muslims are free to worship and to practice their faith in countries like Kenya, and lament that this is not so for Christians and others in the Islamic world.

We commit ourselves to pray and support the persecuted churches throughout the world.

Our churches need both to campaign for greater freedom of belief and expression in Islamic lands, as well as for material, spiritual and social support for converts and others who suffer because of their beliefs.

Read it all.

    I hope that some who attended this mini-conference at GAFCON will consider attending Mere Anglicanism next year as the threat of radicalism Islam is one of three threats (triple jeopardy to use Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali’s term) to Christianity- the topic of next year’s Mere Anglicanism conference.
