A Christian-Muslim inter-faith dialogue, a display and an
open day at the Clyde St mosque are among events being held
in Dunedin this week during Islam Awareness Week.
Most of the activities were centred around the University of
Otago campus, where many Muslim students studied, Muslim
University Student Association public relations officer Aufar
Bahri said yesterday.
Four Christian and four Muslim speakers will speak at the
inter-faith dialogue, being held today in the university
union common room at 1pm.
Each would give their perspective on topics including the
concept of God, the role of scripture, and the role of women,
university chaplain and dialogue chairman The Rev Greg
Hughson said.
Tomorrow's activities include a display in the union common
room and the screening of a documentary about Muslim and
Christian leaders working for peace in Nigeria.
An open day would be held at the Clyde St mosque on Saturday
from 10am.
