Vogelaar Professor of Christian-Muslim Studies and Interfaith Relations. He is also working with the newly-formed Center for Christian-Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice, which will be inaugurated at LSTC on Thurs., Sept. 21, followed by a major conference. Dr. Swanson will make two different presentations at the Bishop's Leadership Days, both on the broad topic of Christian-Muslim relations and ministry in today's world.
