Mass media might make one think American interest in Muslims is concerned only with wars and terrorism. But Lutherans have been interacting with Muslims in America and around the globe in positive ways since the 1950s and 1960s. We will briefly compare Islam and Christianity, summarize key moments in the history of ELCA engagement, and then explore ways Muslims and Christians are sharing hospitality and working together on such causes as hunger, immigration, and interreligious understanding. Leader: Holy Trinity member Carol Schersten LaHurd.
