Simon Perfect (Theos Think Tank, SOAS London University)
&

Noahs Ark are pleased to host an Interfaith Discussion on a topic which many adherents of the monotheistic faiths equally struggle with.

The discussion will look at what the Christian and Muslim faiths
1) define as a spiritual crisis,
2) state as symptoms manifest of such a state and
3) provide as potential remedies

Each of our respective speakers will address the above points from the perspective of their faith after which there will be time allocated for audience interaction and Q&A.
