Who is Jesus? An Interfaith Discussion
What you are about to see is a discussion about the nature of Jesus (alayhi assalaam) from representatives of 6 different religions and denominations. The format of the discussion was that each representative would speak for about 5 minutes. Then, there was about 20 minutes of Q&A between the audience and the speakers. The setting was in a church that sponsored this event, and which it called a hexalogue (a dialogue between 6, and yes it's not in the dictionary!!!). In total, there was 4 sessions on 4 different days, but I only participated in 2. The following session about Jesus was one of them!
