Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams
The Building Bridges Seminar, hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a unique annual series which brings together a range of internationally recognized Christian and Muslim scholars for intensive study. Texts from the Christian and Islamic traditions are used as the basis for discussion in a programme that includes public lectures in the Great Hall, as well as private sessions.
The seminars have explored a number of the most significant themes in the interface between Islam and Christianity: scripture; prophecy; the common good; justice and rights; human nature; interpretation; science and religion; tradition and modernity; prayer.
