n September 2010, the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for
Islamic Thought in cooperation with the Eugen-Biser

Foundation (Germany) held a symposium entitled ‘Is-
lam, Christianity and the Environment’ at the Baptism Site

in Jordan.

The symposium was another event in the series of dia-
logues driven by the global Muslim-Christian interfaith ini-
tiative, A Common Word (acommonword.com).

It brought together a small group of Muslim and Christian
scholars to discuss how each religion views the environment.

This exchange helped both sides achieve a better understand-
ing of each others’ perspective, and also led to a strengthening

of the response from all faiths to the current environmental

crisis. All participants ended the event by endorsing HE Arch-
bishop of Sweden Anders Wejrud’s environmental initiative,

[The Uppsala Manifesto], which calls for religious communi-
ties to rally toward a global climate strategy.

This booklet brings together four papers presented at the
symposium.
