Religious Tolerance in Oman and the Al Amana Centre: A Christian Perspective

Session Description:

The Sultanate of Oman has a rich history of religious tolerance. Oman is a Muslim majority country but Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and other people of different faiths call it home as well. This session explores a Christian’s experience of Omani tolerance and shows why Al Amana Centre has chosen Oman to be its base of operations. We explore Omani attitudes, cultural structures, and the long experience of the Reformed Church in America’s work in Oman. By highlighting these areas of life in Oman, we show how they contribute to the peace that exists in Oman between different traditions of Islam, but also with people of other religions. The Reformed Church in America’s work in Oman was first in health and education, and now is focused on building trust and peace between people of different faith traditions and cultures. We feature how Oman enables the Al Amana Centre to give hope that peace is possible between people of different faiths.
