This collaborative initiative in interfaith dialogue and multicultural exploration between the Divinity School and the Chaplain’s Office is intended to introduce students to Egypt’s Muslim society as the context within which the minority Christian community practices its faith. In the inaugural program in December 2007 – January 2008 two faculty/staff members, 6 undergraduates and 18 graduate students visited numerous Christian, Muslim, and (historically) Jewish places of worship in the greater Cairo area, as well as Egypt’s stunning archeological sites at the southern environs of Luxor. We also examined Christian monasticism in the place of its origin at the Wadi Natrun.
