MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS
SIR,—I was interested to read Sir Shane Leslie's letter in your last issue in which he refers to the urgent need for Muslim-Christian co- operation on lines similar to that achieved in this country between Christians and Jews. I should like to mention that some time ago, through the initiative of a group of American Christians, a conference of Muslims and Christians was held in the Middle East and, as a consequence, a permanent organisation has been set up.
I should also like to point out that in this Society, which Sir Francis Younghusband founded twenty years ago to promote fellow- ship among mankind through religion, Muslims and Christians have co-operated together along with representatives of other faiths in many activities.
Not least among our recent activities has been to arrange for Muslim speakers to address church groups and other voluntary societies, We are always glad to help in this way.
Our organisation is privileged to have the support of such distinguished members of the Muslim community as Sir Mirza Ismail, Mr. Abdul Majid, Editor of the Islamic Review and the Imam of the Woking Mosque.—Yours faithfully, ARTHUR PEACOCK Hon. Secretary World Congress of Faiths, Younghusband House, 23 Norfolk Square, London, W2
