Seminar 12:
Abraham the First Ecumenist

Abraham is often looked to as a common foundational ancestor of the three great faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and as a potential bridge for relationship and understanding between the three. Who was Abraham and what aspects of his story fit him for this weighty vocation? With reference back to the Bible stories, Dr Meg Warner will explore the relevance of the Abraham tradition for today.
