The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, will chair the 9th Annual Building Bridges Seminar in Washington DC from May 25-27.
Since 2002, the Archbishop of Canterbury has chaired the annual seminar, which brings together leading Muslim and Christian scholars from around the world to explore issues at the heart of the two traditions.
The 9th Annual Building Bridges Seminar is titled ‘Christian and Muslim Perspectives on Tradition and Modernity’.
As in previous Building Bridges seminars, a number of texts from the Christian and Islamic traditions will be used as the basis for discussion in a programme that includes public lectures and private sessions.
This year’s event has been organised in partnership with Georgetown University , who hosted the Building Bridges Seminar in 2004 and 2006.
Previous seminars have been held in Istanbul, Doha, Sarajevo and Singapore.
