Public Lecture: ‘How to think about Muslim Difference’ by Youshaa Patel

The Song School, 109A Iffley Road, Oxford, OX4 1EH. 17.00 – 19.00
Online and in-person event hosted by the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies Oxford - Drawing on his recently published book, The Muslim Difference (Yale 2022), Youshaa Patel explores the vexing Islamic discourse of reprehensible imitation (tashabbuh), a discourse that enjoins ordinary believers to embody and display their religious difference from Christians, Jews and others in public life. Moderating cross-cultural imitation and assimilation was as crucial to the construction of Muslim identity and alterity during Islam's formative period as it is today.

Scriptural Reasoning: Home

Morden Salvation Army, 21 Crown Lane, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5BY. 19.00 – 21.00
Home is a fundamental concept that transcends borders and cultures. It's a place of safety, belonging, and community.

In the United Kingdom, housing justice is a pressing concern. Skyrocketing housing prices, a shortage of affordable housing, and systemic inequalities have left countless families facing homelessness, displacement, and insecurity. It's a crisis that demands our collective attention and action.

In this enlightening Scriptural Reasoning event, we invite you to engage in a thoughtful exploration of the theme of 'home' through the process of Scriptural Reasoning, an inter faith dialogue method that brings together individuals from diverse religious backgrounds to study and discuss sacred texts.
We will begin the evening by sharing a delicious Syrian meal together.…
