There is no doubt that Islam poses a challenge to the church in the UK. Islam is widely recognised to be the fastest growing religion in the UK and is growing in influence in our culture. People are afraid to criticise Islamic beliefs or practices for fear of being called ‘Islamophobic’ and many Christians find themselves unequipped to respond to questions posed by their Muslim friends and colleagues. The church desperately needs to be equipped to respond faithfully to the growing influence of Islam.

Join us as we bring together expert speakers to discuss the challenge of Islam in the UK and how the church should respond.

Organised in partnership with the Ezra Institute and Christian Concern.

Contributors include:
  • Rev. Dr Joe Boot, Founder and President, Ezra Institute (Ezra Centre for Christian Thought)
  • Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern
  • Beth Peltola, CEO & Lecturer, One Truth Project
  • Bob of Speakers’ Corner, Christian apologist
