Controversy has raged in the English press over what the media and some church members thought the Archbishop of Canterbury had said in a foundation lecture at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Thursday 7th February sees the launch of Generous Love: the truth of the Gospel and the call to dialogue
Sub titled 'An Anglican theology of inter faith relations' this short treatise is the culmination of work in which NIFCON has been engaged over the last four years. The discernment of a distinctively Anglican theology of inter faith relations is set against the backdrop of and builds on similar work in other Christian traditions, notably Nostra Aetate.
NIFCON has added six books and two lectures that were published in the last quarter of 2007 to the Resources section and details of a conference coming up later this month (see Events).
The lectures both deal with matters of faith and citizenship and The Inaugural Zaki Badawi Memorial Lecture on the Books page picks up on issues of pluralism in communities. Two of other books deal with issues of dialogue with Islam and a third on how Christianity maintains a strong but hospitable presence in a minority context. On a completely different theme is Rev Dr Joshva Raja's new title 'Did Jesus Feed Five Thousand People? - Hermeneutical Secrets of John's Gospel'. The sixth book returns to Islam but the geographical perspective switches to Malaysia.
We welcome suggestions for resources to add particular from outside UK and USA.
Early next month NIFCON will publish Generous Love: the truth of the Gospel and the call to dialogue - An Anglican theology of inter faith relations. It will be available to download from this site or in printed form from the NIFCON office.
