10.2 Interreligious dialogue

The international presence of Islam has led to growing interaction—as well as marriages—between Christians and Muslims, and at times it happens that a blessing is also requested upon such marriages. In addition, there are increasing inquiries into the possibility of organising collective Christian-Muslim prayers and devotionals on the occasion of special public events, but also in the wake of accidents and tragedies.

What is common to the three Abrahamic religions—namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—is the fact that all three worship God as the Creator who blesses all believers, regardless of the fact that Jews and Muslims reject the trinity of God. Like Christians, both Jews and Muslims profess one true God. New Apostolic Christians can therefore indeed pray together with Jews and Muslims.
