The Primates of the Anglican Communion state that the introduction of Sharia Law (one of the more rigid Islamic legal codes) violates the human rights of non-Muslims.
"Six men were killed and 19 others wounded when a gunman opened fire on worshippers at the mosque as they prayed shortly before 8 p.m. January 29, 2017. Alexandre Bissonette, a university student, has been charged with six counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder in relation to the attack. The January 29 shooting was commemorated through different events January 26-29 [2018], said Bruce Myers, bishop of the diocese of Quebec". "Quebec City Anglicans have also been helping support victims of the attack. In the immediate aftermath, the diocese, Myers says, contributed to a widows' and orphans' fund set up to support family members of the victims. More recently, Anglicans have lent their support to Aymen Derbali, a member of the mosque who was shot seven times while reportedly drawing the shooter's attention to himself in an attempt to save others". "Myers said the cathedral parish has designated its Christmas Eve offering to the fund -- according to Facebook post by cathedra; Dean Christian Schreiner, this totalled almost $900 -- and a fundraising concert is being organized in the cathedral". "The diocese has been reaching out to Quebec's Muslim community since the shooting in a variety of ways, Myers said, hosting this fall, for example, a gathering of Muslim and Anglican families in the cathedral, with similar events planned for the near future".

"This report captures the essence of the multi-faceted, multicultural Anglican Communion through the sermons, hearings, reports, and resolutions from the 10th Meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council held in Panama City in October 1996. There the Council wrestled with the key issues that must be addressed by the Anglican Communion as it faces the challenges of mission, human sexuality, fundamentalism, Islam, crises, morality, evangelism, liturgy, ecumenical relations, and structure in the twenty-first century. Includes the complete text of 'The Virginia Report' on church structure, 'The Dublin Report' on liturgy, and an address by the Archbishop of Canterbury that discusses the possibility of an Anglican Congress in the near future and the topics set for the 1998 Lambeth Conference". -- back cover.

In February 1997 three Christian villages in Pakistan were destroyed by Muslims from neighbouring towns. The attacks alarmed Christians throughout the country. "The Bishop of Bradford, the Rt. Rev. David Smith, with other Christian and Muslim leaders in Bradford, condemned the violence. In October 1997 the Bishop joined with a Muslim community leader to visit Shanti Nagar to see for themselves the rebuilding work that had been promised to the Christians there.

"Certainly the Adhan, or summons to prayer from the minaret, has persisted steadily every dawning and fading day of all the passing years. As then, so now, it is 'an imperative invitation' to Muslim faith and practice, confronting Muslims with their own vocation and alerting the attentive outsider to what shapes and makes Islam. The call of the minaret is the epitome of Muslim belief and action. To seek in it the clue to Islam, and from that clue to learn the form and dimension of a Christian relationship to what it tells, is the purpose of this book. These chapters are one man's effort at an interpretive study of what the muezzin says. It is inspired by the obligations belonging to Christian conviction". -- Preface, p. vi-vii.

"During the past 10 years the World Council of Churches has arranged a series of meetings concerned with the Islamic world. At one level Christians have met together to consider patterns of Christian presence, service and witness among their Muslim neighbours. At another level Christians have invited Muslims to reflect together about their mutual relationships and responsibilities in the modern world. This book brings together the scattered accounts of these meetings and provides a review of recent past experiences of Christian-Muslim dialogue and a proposed agenda for future dialogue at local, regional and world levels". -- back cover.
