Excerpt:
At the largest annual gathering of Muslims in North America, thousands browsed a bustling bazaar showcasing products, businesses and opportunities by and for Muslims. Of more than 500 booths, only one represented a commitment to dialogue and friendship from the perspective of committed followers of Jesus.
That booth was manned by Jonathan Bornman and Amos Stoltzfus of Eastern Mennonite Missions, who promoted Christian-Muslim relations from a Christ-centered peacemaking perspective at the 53rd annual Islamic Society of North America convention Sept. 2-5.
ISNA is the largest and oldest Islamic umbrella organization in North America. The convention, "Turning Points: Navigating Challenges, Seizing Opportunities," centered on the challenges millions of Muslims face in the current political climate. An estimated 15,000 people attended.
