Jesus and the Christian Gospel for all?

I've just received publicity for a training event at St Philip's Centre for Study & Engagement in a Multi-faith Society. It promises exploration of "how to offer the challenge of the Christian faith to our Hindu, Sikh or Muslim neighbours".

The day is led by Canon Dr Andrew Wingate, who has an international reputation for inter-faith dialogue and understanding, and Revd John McGinley, an evangelical vicar from Hinckley.

This is a rare opportunity to reflect on issues of the church's mission, friendship, engagement and evangelism in multi-faith neighbourhoods. I hope to be able to attend.
