Love Thy Muslim Neighbor: Choosing Compassion Over Conflict as Committed Christians

When you hear the word “Islam” or see a Muslim, what images, thoughts, or feelings come to mind? Too often, Christians are filled with distrust, fear, and hate toward their Muslim neighbors. This session provides a primer on why Christians are called to love their Muslim neighbors, what that looks like in a world of conflict, and how you can start doing so as an individual or a church community today.
