EVEN the Rev Julie Nicholson’s Christian faith has not helped her to forgive the suicide bombers who took her daughter’s life. Perhaps that would be too much to expect of any mother.
Exactly eight months since the London bombings on July 7 last year, Mrs Nicholson has given up her job as an inner-city vicar because she feels unable to preach a message of peace and reconciliation when she does not feel it in her heart.
Jennifer Nicholson, her talented, vivacious, 24-year-old daughter, was one of 56 people who died in the bombings.

‘It’s hard to preach forgiveness when I feel far from it myself’

That depends on the meaning of 'dialog' and 'successful'.
Interfaith dialogue wth Muslims is a waste of time. We are the only ones who will change! We are the ones who will make concessions. Muslims will never change, and nor will they make any concessions. Their religion is absolute. So there'll be absolutely NO CONCESSIONS! After all, it is their goal to take over the world!
Dialogue is only of any use if the two sides taking part in the dialogue are prepared to compromise. In this case, the other side is not.
