ACU hosts conference on Muslim-Christian relations

A major international conference on Muslim-Christian relations was recently held at the Melbourne Campus (St Patrick’s).

From Dialogue to Collaboration: The Vision of Fethullah Gülen and Muslim-Christian Relations, was opened by former Governor of Victoria, Sir James Gobbo.

The conference explored, through the prism of Fethullah Gülen’s personal and theological profile, his worldwide contribution to Islamic studies, education, philanthropy, and interreligious dialogue. 

Gülen’s vision of dialogue and Muslim-Christian relations was brought into relation with developments in the Catholic Church and other Christian Churches since Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate (1965).

The conference was sponsored by ACU in partnership with Monash University and the Australian Intercultural Society (AIS).
