Feature - Christians and Muslims in joint retreat - CathNews: "Nine young people came together earlier this month at the Campion Centre in Melbourne for an experience in inter-religious dialogue.
Facilitated by Fr Herman Roborgh SJ, the dialogue, on August 6-7, consisted of lectio divina, or meditation on selected passages from the Bible and the Qur'an. They also involved sharing about each one's experience of praying with the text of the other religion.
Questions regarding each others' faith were also encouraged in an honest and respectful dialogue. The retreat finished with the MAGiS circle which is a modified and extended Examen, done in prayerful conversation.
The retreat was organized by Madeleine Marson of MAGiS Victoria and Kieran Gill, SJ of Jesuit Theological College. The attendees included two Muslim women from the Al Ghazzali Centre, a student from Newman College, a young lawyer and three Jesuit scholastics."
