Inter-faith

Meedan is collaborating with the Cambridge Inter-faith Programme to develop the Nurani digital platform for dialogue and translation between Muslims, Christians and Jews. The innovative Nurani web service enables cross-language discussions between religious leaders, scholars and civic groups in Arabic and English.

The Nurani project was awarded a prestigious UK Research Councils’ grant, which will support the creation of the world’s first inter-faith library of religious texts and the further development of Nurani into a toolkit which can be downloaded to facilitate cross-language scriptural dialogue.

Drawing on a well-established form of inter-faith dialogue called Scriptural Reasoning, users will be able to tackle contemporary themes through moderated discussions of scriptures from the various faiths, with an in-built translation service allowing for cross-cultural communication.
