Today's topic involves the three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A friend's daughter asked a question about Islam and the answer to her question was to bring representatives from the three faiths to Sacred Heart for a public conversation regarding their faiths. Imagine a rabbi, priest and imam speaking about a specific topic that each of the faith's share. For the first thirty minutes, each representative would speak for ten minutes each. For the last thirty minutes, the audience can ask questions for the representatives. The idea is to educate, share ideas and letting the audience discuss rather than argue or criticism what they do not understand.
Some background can be in two Vatican II documents, Dignitatus Humanae, and Nostra Aetate, each of which speaks about the other faiths. If you want to go back further than Vatican II, please review the Remonstrance of the Inhabitants of the Town of Flushing to Governor Stuyvesant, Dec 27,1657.
