Centre for Muslim-Christian Inter-faith Training and Clergy Engagement on Domestic Violence

The Centre works to develop inter-faith models of engagement with Muslim and Christian clerics that can be used to train religious leaders from different faith traditions together and in a manner that is fitting to multireligious contexts and societies. We rely on a novel typology for classifying different training approaches for clergy and a new conceptual framework and approach for inter-faith training that we have previously produced with funding from the Gingko Library.

As a Centre, we are especially interested in:

• Developing, piloting and evaluating novel approaches for engaging religious leaders and clerics across religious traditions, denominations and cultural contexts.
• Assessing theologically grounded, secular and mixed approaches to inter-faith clergy trainings and identifying the benefits and limitations of each approach.
• Understanding the role of inter-faith dialogue and peacebuilding as a precondition for mobilising inter-faith domestic violence responses in multireligious societies and contexts.
