At the Baptist World Alliance gathering held in Prague, Czech Republic, the world-wide body of Baptists considered a reply to an open letter sent last fall from Islamic religious leaders to the Christian community. The letter calls on Christians and Muslims to find common ground. The BWA participants agreed to begin work on a reply which will circulate among various Baptist conventions around the world before it is finalized.
