Qur’an Bible Roundtable Discussion

Syracuse Wood Hath Hope Church and North East Islamic Community Center organized the second roundtable discussion on the topic of “Scriptural bases of Interfaith Dialog” during the first day of Ramadan. The members of the church and Turkish Muslim community members came together at one of the volunteer’s house and shared their perspective on dialog. Dr. Tony Bartlett, founder of the church, mentioned that Jesus came with the message of love and understanding and it is the main foundation of interfaith dialog. Later, verses from the Quran was mentioned which suggest to agree on common word among believers.
After a great discussion, conversation continued over a Ramadan dinner called “Iftar”. A traditional rice dish called “Maklube” was served to all guests and the evening ended mutual prayers and a wish to get together for the third roundtable discussion.
