“You have to know that the essence of my identity is Christ as a believer, and yours might be Muhammad and the Quran. Once we agree about what the essence of our respective identities is, we can actually engage each other.
I have found that practical collaboration actually results faster when there’s that deeper respect for identity.”
-Chris Seiple, President Emeritus for Institute for Global Engagement
