Dear BWA Member Bodies,

We greet you and pray you are doing well and rejoicing in our Lord, no matter what your circumstances.

I write today to share with you the formal BWA response to an Open Letter from Muslim Scholars entitled A Common Word, addressed to the leaders of Christian World communions, and received at the BWA Office in the fall of 2007.
