:: FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN WITNESS

PROCMURA believes that Christian witness is an integral part of Christian identity and therefore obligatory. It emphasises that the Church in its calling to bear witness to Jesus Christ in the world, should take context as an indispensable guide to such witness. To this end PROCMURA advocates:

  • That the Church in an interfaith environment of Christians and Muslims should seek to come to a deeper understanding of her Muslim neighbours and their religion, Islam.
  • That understanding implies not only a fair and objective knowledge of what Muslims believe and practice but a respectful and empathetic attitude towards Muslims as fellow human beings and as people of faith.
  • That because of the common humanity Christians share with Muslims the Gospel has to be interpreted faithfully to them lest it be obscured by our human weakness in living according to the tenets of the Gospel.  
  • That such interpretation must be faithful in obedience to God; not compromised under the pretext of promoting peace and peaceful co-existence or aggressive and polemical under the guise of the mandate to proclaim the Gospel.
