In April 2003. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury convened a group of twenty-five leading Christian and Muslim scholars for three days of theological dialogue. The focus of this gathering was the intensive study of passages from the Qur'an and the Bible. Combining scholarship with commitment to the practice of their faiths, the participants addressed questions such as discernment of the Word of God, the place of women in their believing communities, and making space for the religious Other.
