Event details
The April Progressive Christianity Forum will welcome Dr Greg McDonald to discuss a qualitative research project exploring the factors affecting Christian-Muslim dialogue in Australia. Using Adelaide as a case study, the research involved 34 in-depth interviews with religious leaders and everyday adherents from the Uniting Church and Sunni Muslim communities. This provided an intimate glimpse into the beliefs, attitudes and experiences of Australian Christians and Muslims towards each other. The findings give an insight into the factors that inhibit and/or motivate interfaith engagement.
Volunteering at a refugee camp in Palestine sparked Greg's interest in Islamic philosophy, and he subsequently completed a Master of Islamic Studies from Charles Sturt University, and a PhD at UniSA in Christian-Muslim engagement. In 2024 he published a book, Christian-Muslim Dialogue: encounter and co-existence. Greg is an Adjunct Fellow at UniSA, and an Honorary Researcher at the University of Divinity. He is employed as a Pastoral Care Practitioner in Aged Care, along with part-time interstate truck driving.
