myself, looking very scholarly!!
Yesterday eve was the dialogue. As part of their 'Diversity Week' the University of Prince Edward Island encourages people of different faith traditions the opportunity to come together, in a spirit of peace, goodwill, and humility, to explore in a little more depth, what each tradition believes regarding a particular subject. This year the subject was 'Peace', based upon the scriptures of the Bible and the Quran. It was a good time, and apart from one young Muslim getting a bit carried away, everything was handled very respectfully. It was an honor to take part and hope to have the opportunity to be apart of more events like this in the future.
UPDATE (as of Jan28/12): The prominent Island newspaper 'The Guardian' wrote a piece on our exchange a few hours after the dialogue. Although the meeting was slightly misrepresented, and I was misquoted (which has since been corrected) and taken out of reference, it is an interesting take on the meeting.
