Inaugural Founders Forum - Ignatius and Islam: Uncovering Interfaith Intersections

The Founders’ Forum is an annual Mission Week event that explores our Jesuit and Ignatian roots in conversation with contemporary issues and subjects. This year’s gathering will focus on St. Ignatius’s enduring fascination with Muslims and the meaningful and timely parallels that can be drawn between Islam and Christianity. Father Steve Spahn, SJ of the Jesuit community and Theology Department will sketch what we know historically of Ignatius’s desire to minister among Muslims. Dr. Jordan Denari Duffner, scholar of Muslim-Christian Relations, Interreligious Dialogue, & Islamophobia, will highlight fascinating intersections between Ignatian and Islamic spirituality.
