Two religious leaders are claiming an historic first after an Islamic Imam preached at a Christian chapel. For the first time a Muslim, Dr Taj Hargey, from the Summertown Islamic Congregation in Oxford, was welcomed to deliver a sermon at Pembroke College’s chapel. The Rev Dr Andrew Teal, of Pembroke College, said he had been trying to get a Muslim Imam to deliver a service for many years and he believed it was a first. ‘We wanted to do something which brought together Christianity and Islam, but not to create a third thing. I think what we are doing today is very unusual. The two faiths are actually very close Abraham being a key figure in both Islam and Christianity.’ Dr Hargey added: ‘It is up to Muslims and Christians in this great city of ours to show the way for the rest of the country’.

Pray: for increased respect for Christianity by the Muslim community with ‘no-go’ Muslim areas a thing of the past. (Pr.9:10)
