An exciting opportunity on college campuses are the chance for interfaith dialogue.
One staff in our region does an event called Peace Feast three times a semester where students look at texts from each other’s Holy Books. It gives students a new found appreciation for the Bible and the realization how central Jesus is in the Christian Faith.
Here is his report of the most recent one:
We looked at the birth and importance of Jesus with 11 Christians and 11 students of other faiths. The Peace Feast is a time where no evangelism is allowed and relationship building is central. We looked at the birth story from Luke and Surah 2 in the Qur’an. Many students were amazed hearing how Jesus is a sign from God, and we are called to obey what he says. A lot of new relationships were built so that more Bible discussions can occur in the future. One student exclaimed how interesting and in depth the Bible was. He loved the detail, and asked me to meet up more with him to look at the Bible.
