Christian and Muslim dialogue at CSU

12 AUGUST 2014

Two leading academics and theologians representing the Christian and Muslim faiths will come together at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga on Saturday 16 August for the public seminar, The Role of Faith in Trust Building. The speakers are the Right Reverend Professor Stephen Pickard, Executive Director of the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture and an Assistant Bishop in the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn, and Associate Professor Mehmet Ozalp, Executive Director of the University's Centre for Islamic Studies and Civilization. They will each deliver an address before holding an open question and answer session. Head of CSU in Wagga Wagga, Ms Miriam Dayhew will chair the free, public seminar from 11am to 1pm on Saturday 16 August in Room 103, Swan Theatre building 12, near car park 7, Nathan Cobb Drive, CSU in Wagga Wagga. A sausage sizzle will be held after the event. A seminar organiser and CSU academic Dr Asim Qayyum, said, "I strongly feel that a dialogue between these two faiths is required during these times of confusion and crises to guide the youth. The common platform of belief and faith that binds us all together should lead to mutual trust building so that our upcoming generations are able to confront ethical and moral issues."
