Bishop Mike and Imam Ajmal answering questions in Sudbury Market: Report & feedback.

Christians and Muslims have been meeting for joint meals and discussions in Sudbury and Long Melford for seven years, usually a couple of times a year for Muslim/Christian Dialogue. 

The event in the market on 3rd August was another step in our co operation.

The Bishop of Dunwich, Mike Harrison and Imam Ajmal who leads Friday Prayers in Sudbury were there to answer questions about their respective faiths. We were allotted adjoining places in the market. Each had a board encouraging passers-by to ask questions about such subjects as creation, suffering, science and religion, life after death. There was a very good response over a period of three hours and some good discussions.

It was clear that, although we have beliefs and values in common, there are many differences between us. However, we have mutual respect and friendship with each other since we belong to the same local community.
