I speak about my experience at the Building Bridges Seminar, a special initiative on Christian-Muslim relations. I share how the Seminar focuses relationships, scripture and tradition and could potentially create new global projects, such as fighting hunger.

This podcast is based on my blog post "Building Bridges Seminar: An Exercise in Relational Theology"

Maryam is not only a daughter and mother but also a teacher. In the Qur'an, she teaches Zechariah/Zakariyya a lesson about spirituality which leads to an epiphany and his own prayer for children. Maryam's model as a teacher inspires mystical and Sufi figures throughout history to teach about spirituality and to become closer to God.

I discuss how the Qur'an presents Maryam as a model, not just for women and the wives of the Prophet Muhammad but for men as well. She also plays an important role in discussions regarding gender egalitarianism in the Qur'an.
