Being Christian among Britain's Muslims by Nicholas Heale

Being Christian among Britain's Muslims by Nicholas Heale

This book describes the experiences and reflections of a Christian priest living and working in a predominantly Muslim community in Blackburn. It explores the complexities of coexistence and the ways in which engaging with Islam has changed his perception of prayer, and strengthened the depth and experience of his Christian faith. Sharing prayer fosters understanding, but it can also create a 'God-filled space' in which a Christian encounter with God can be enriched. Fr Heale examines the Christian church's approach to engaging with Islam, and the way in which Muslims perceive Christianity, influenced by historical and doctrinal differences. His exploration highlights the importance of faith and love in Christian-Muslim interactions. The concept of mission is examined in the light of the transformation of understanding that comes through a deeper understanding of Islam.

The Revd Nicholas Heale was ordained in 1995 and has lived and worked since 1999 in theDiocese of Blackburn, most recently as vicar of North and East Blackburn, where he hasresponsibility for the spiritual life of three churches and two church schools. As someone offaith and prayerhe seeks especially to foster friendship with his Muslim neighbours, who makeup the vast majority of his parishioners, and to do so as a small contribution towards mutualunderstanding, kindness and peace between us all.
