ABOUT CSC
Centre for the Promotion of Interfaith Dialogue and Social Harmony.
The Christian Study Centre has been serving the churches in Pakistan as an ecumenical institution for the study of Christian Muslim relations since 1967. In a world of increasing tensions and polarization we seek to promote deeper mutual understanding and respect between religious communities.
HISTORY
The Christian Study Centre was founded in 1967 as an institution firmly rooted from its inception in the ecumenical tradition and vision of the Church, with the support and guidance of numerous ecumenical Church organisations and individuals, and commenced formal operations in 1968. The Centre was conceived as an independent, non-profit institution for the express purpose of investigating Christianity and Islam.
Thus, the objective was to serve Christian Churches, individuals and institutions with comparable interests in ecumenical research trends and to establish a comparative studies centre. Over time, it transformed into a hub for dialogue, social change, human and minority rights, peacebuilding, and interfaith harmony.
