Participants will experience homestays with Muslim families, reverent reflection in mosques and in 1,000-year-old Christian churches, a Eucharist service with the congregation at the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia’s Peace Cathedral, seminars to learn more about Christianity and Islam, respectful dialogue between Baptists and Muslims, advocacy for gender justice and religious rights, the stunning geography of Georgia’s mountains and vineyards, hiking, and the country’s renowned hospitality, cuisine, and folkdance.
