Who Is Mary? Christian and Muslim Perspectives

Islam and Christianity are different religions; that is true. But in both faith traditions Miriam/Mary is a revered figure and someone around whom we can have important conversations. So who is Miriam in Islam and Mary in Christianity? And where is the common ground?

We gathered an impressive and knowledgeable panel in the Washington D.C. area to share from their four different perspectives - and answer audience questions - to help us learn about each other FROM each other. Our hope is that this helps us to identify our common ground, have better conversations, become better listeners, and feel more at home discussing important topics with those who see things differently than we do.
