In this Crowther Centre seminar Ida Glaser explores clues about mission from the most volatile periods of Chrsitan-Muslim relations.

Ida Glaser was CMS missiologist in residence from October 2007 to March 2008.

Before that, she was Senior Teaching and Research Fellow at The Edinburgh Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies. She also has experience of teaching physics in Islamic contexts and of church-based outreach in multi-racial, inner-city Britain. Employed by Crosslinks, she was the director of Faith to Faith, a Christian consultancy on other faiths. At post-graduate level she has taught Muslim-Christian relations in Jamaica, Nigeria, India and the Philippines, as well as in Birmingham, in the UK.

She has published widely on Islam and Muslim-Christian interaction and says: “It is my passion to see Christians responding to Muslims on a thoroughly biblical basis and with the mind of Christ.”
