Abstract

The current research examines Christian–Muslims interfaith initiative through the three congresses of World Congress of Faiths (WCF). Highlighting the core theme of the Congress to work towards finding common values through dialogue among different faiths, it analyses the proceeding of the three congresses – 1936, 1937, 1938. Moving towards that, the paper examines the views of different participants from different faiths particularly Christians, Muslims, Ahmadi and Bahai faiths. It also studies the background of the Muslim participants due to certain suspicion from various quarters. While there was a great deal of understanding, respect, and mutual cooperation among faith leaders, it analyses how Muslim leaders failed to present their case. And lastly, interfaith dialogue is studied through Islamic lens to see if it was missionary motivated or it truly served the spirit of interfaith dialogue leading to harmony.
