Dialogue In Charlotte
Continued From Page lA
Hotel on "How an Improved moral life will influence the
American economy." Tickets are $40.
An interfaith dialogue among Christian, Jewish and Mus
lim scholars will be held Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at Myers Park
Presbyterian Church at Providence Road and Oxford Place.
With Palestinians and Is
raelis agreeing to stop fight
ing as evidence of a chang
ing cultural climate, Malik
said the Charlotte confer
ence is one step in the global
realization that coopera
tion is better than fighting.
"It's a requirement in to
day's world," he said. "No
one people have all the an
swers. We need each other to
implement these answers;
Sometimes, circumstances
will permit people who have been silent for a long time to
present their point of view."
The summit weekend is sponsored by the Charlotte Commu
nity Relations Commettee, Charlotte chapter of the National
Conference of Christians and Jews and the Charlotte Masjid
of Al-Islam.
