The head of the World Council of Churches, the Rev. Samuel Kobia, has welcomed an open letter by 138 Muslim scholars urging Christians and Muslims to seek common ground and he has said the Geneva-based WCC is ready to help. "It is significant in that it is signed by such a large group of Muslim leaders and scholars from around the world, which makes it unprecedented," WCC general secretary Kobia said in 15 October comments to Ecumenical News International. "Such a rare unity of purpose gives great hope as to what people of faith can achieve together."
